Joining an Alicante Free Walking Tour should be at the top of your list when thinking about what to do in this lovely sunny city. After spending a couple of hours visiting the highest-rated monuments in the historical center, there are lots of fun activities to do. Head to the port and take a ride to Tabarca Island: it’s a picturesque place with nice beaches, photogenic churches, and amazing fish restaurants. Of course, there are many other beaches near the city center that you can visit in the area. Our favorites are San Juan Beach, Albufereta Beach, and Postiguet Beach. However, if you have a car, you can drive farther away to untouched Cala Ambolo. Finally, Alicante is also a wonderful place to taste the many delicacies of Valencian food, such as paella, seafood, special breads, ‘fartons’, and the amazing horchata. The Central Market is the ideal spot to start your exploration of local gastronomy.
