TL;DR<\/strong>Alicante, Spain and its surroundings offer 20 specific tips on what to see and do: the Santa B\u00e1rbara Castle<\/strong> rising 166 metres above the city, the picturesque Barrio Santa Cruz<\/strong> quarter, the Explanada de Espa\u00f1a promenade, the Postiguet city beach and the seven-kilometre San Juan beach. Worthwhile trips include the pirate island of Tabarca, the mountain village of Guadalest, whitewashed Altea, Calpe with the 332-metre Pe\u00f1\u00f3n de Ifach rock, and the skyscrapers of Benidorm. Thanks to its microclimate, the region enjoys over 300 sunny days a year, with spring and autumn best for sightseeing at 20 to 25 degrees. Two days are enough for Alicante itself, while the whole Costa Blanca deserves five to seven days. Getting around without a car works thanks to the TRAM d'Alacant<\/strong> network, and the region’s culinary symbol is the authentic paella valenciana.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Spain is always a safe bet, but if you’re after a place where historic lanes meet wide sandy beaches and the mildest climate in the whole country, you need to head for the Costa Blanca coast. The gateway to this sun-soaked region is Alicante, Spain’s dynamic city that somehow balances deep tradition with a modern beach-resort vibe. Here you can wander beneath medieval ramparts, sip coffee on a marble promenade, and then dive straight into the turquoise waves of the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Costa Blanca, or White Coast, also boasts a special microclimate sheltered by mountains, which keeps the weather pleasant even when the rest of Europe is freezing. Whether you’re craving a relaxed break, the discovery of hidden mountain villages, or the wild architecture of nearby Benidorm, this corner of Spain won’t let you down. Let’s take a look together at the very best that Alicante and its wider surroundings have to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
