Cala de la Sangueta

Alicante’s city beach offers a clean, child-friendly day out, surrounded by some of the best restaurants in town.

With eight permanent exhibitions and interactive and child-friendly displays, it’s not surprising this museum once won the European Museum of the Year Award.

Looming over the city center, this hilltop castle is the main attraction in Alicante and one of the largest castles in Europe.

For more than 500 years this church has been at the heart of Alicante’s Roman Catholic community. Today it’s worth a visit just for its inspiring architecture.

See art treasures by Picasso, Dalí and Miró, as well as works by big international names of the 20th century, within the walls of one of the city’s oldest buildings.

Take a walk along Alicante’s waterfront on this beautiful mosaic walkway and experience life in the slow lane.
