Costa Blanca Sights

  1. Museo Arqueológico Provincial (MARQ)

    Nominated as European Museum of the Year in 2004, MARQ is very visual and high-tech, and well merits a visit even though there's little information in English. Alicante's archaeological past is well represented, from prehistoric times through Iberian and Roman eras, the Middle Ages and up to the early 20th century. Fascinating, fun and educational all at once!

  2. Palacio Ducal de los Borja

    This magnificent palace was the 15th-century home of Duque Francisco de Borja. Highlights include its finely carved artesonado ceilings and rich ceramic work - look out for the vivid mapa universal floor composition. One-hour guided tours in Spanish, with an accompanying leaflet in English, take place every half hour.

  3. Terra Mítica

    Terra Mítica is the Costa Blanca's answer to Disneyland or Port Aventura in Catalonia. A big fun day out, especially if you're with children, it's Mediterranean in theme, with plenty of rides and areas devoted to ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Iberia and the islands. Are you game to ride the vertiginous Tizona rollercoaster?...
