Introducing Alicante
Alicante (Valenciano: Alacant), the Valencia region’s second-largest town, lives for much more than tourism alone. Dynamic, it’s transformed itself from a somewhat seedy port to an attractive place that improves with every visit. Try to fit in at least one overnight stay to experience its frenetic – and unmistakably Spanish – nightlife.
