Alicante Hotels

Awesome Alicante
Alicante is a captivating city that is nestled in between robust mountainside and the mesmerising Mediterranean. But unlike the fairy tale you’re probably imagining right about now, Alicante’s nightlife is pumping waaay past midnight, so leave the pumpkin carriage at home! ... Read more »
Like much of southern Spain, Alicante is all about pleasure. So feast on a mouth-watering seafood paella and enjoy the finest Spanish wine while overlooking the Costa Blancacoastline. Then roll the dice and stay up till dawn in the bars and casino in Puerto, and nurse your potential hangover with a sun bake and swim on the seductive sandy shore of the 7km-long San Juan Beach. Alicante is truly a place you can let your hedonistic spirit run wild.

ALICANTE EVENTS
The three-week-long Alicante Carnival is filled with stunning costumes, dancing and street celebrations.
If a religious pilgrimage is more your cup (or holy grail) of tea, attend the Pilgrimage of the Holy Visage in April.
On Cruces de Mayo on 1 May, Alicante’s streets are transformed by flowers (not to mention music and dance).
June’s Las Hogueras de San Juan sees papier maché masterpieces created, then burnt to the ground under a glorious fireworks display.
Bask in the sunshine of the Summer Festival each July/August. You’ll be relaxing by the marina, with music filling your ears before you can say ‘magnífico’!
WHEN TO GO
· If you’re keen to hit the beach, or enjoy a wine by the marina, June and August is when you’ll soak up the most rays.
