Europe / Spain / Valencian Community / Alicante travel directory

Alicante (Spanish language) or Alacant (Valencian Catalan) is a city in Spain, the capital of the province of Alicante and of the comarca of the Alacantí, in the southern part of the Valencian Community. It is also an historic Mediterranean port. The population of the city of Alicante proper was 322,431, estimated as of 2006, of the entire urban area, 434,505, ranking as the second-largest Valencian city. Population of the metropolitan area (including Elche and satellite towns) was 725,395 as of 2006 estimates, ranking as the eighth-largest metropolitan area of Spain.

Alicante is one of the fastest-growing cities in Spain. The local economy is based upon tourism in the beaches from Costa Blanca coast and particularly the second residence construction boom which started in the late 1990s. On a much smaller scale, production also includes: agricultural products such as almonds, citrus, olives and wine production, services and administration. The city exports cement, wine, olive oil, and fruit, and has light industries, including food-processing, leather, textiles, and pottery. Turrones (torrons in Valencian) —a honey and almond nougat—is a food speciality of Jijona, close to Alicante, although alicantinos are especially proud of their paella, being "arros a banda" a local favourite, and seafood. The construction boom has raised many environmental concerns and both the local autonomous government and city council are under scrutiny by the European Union. Wild construction is the subject of hot debates among politicians and citizens alike. The latest of many public battles concerns the plans of the Port Authority of Alicante to construct an industrial estate on reclaimed land in front of the city's coastal strip, in breach of local, national and European regulations.

TRAVEL GUIDE
Alicante Spain
Living in San Juan Alicante, we would like to help you get around this beautiful city and the costal area. We hope you will enjoy your next stay at the Costa Blanca. Alicante, Spain with its beautiful boulevard and pleasant shopping street, is one of the most well-known towns on the Costa Blanca. Alicante harborThe coast of Alicante and the Costa Blanca owes its name to the beaches stretching for several kilometers and attracts many sun worshippers and pleasure seekers. The sun in Alicante shines virtually.
Alicante turismo
The city of Alicante can boast of a wide range of beautiful beaches, all having as their common denominator, fine, golden sands and high standards of cleanliness and service. It is hardly surprising that, year after year, they are awarded the Blue Flag of the European Union, the maximum guarantee of their consistent quality.

And as an integral part of this heavenly climate, it is precisely the colour blue, merging as it does a luminous sky with a transparent sea, that makes a relaxing swim or the practice of a wide range of nautical sports so attractive, whether near the city itself, along the coast, in residential complexes or on an island shore.

Those who prefer rockier coastlines, with tranquil, gravely coves (some of which are nudist bathing areas), will also find something to their taste. Alicante, blessed as it is with a wide variety of beaches, has been a favourite destination for visitors for over a century and a half.
