The lively capital of the Costa Blanca, Alicante offers a rare balance between big-city life and the seafront. Santa Bárbara castle watches over the bay, while the palm-lined Explanada promenade, Postiguet beach and the old Santa Cruz quarter set the pace of a Mediterranean life that carries on all year round.
The market ranges from a seafront flat to a penthouse with a terrace in the centre or a villa in the residential heights. An ideal choice for anyone wanting urban amenities, an airport within easy reach and straightforward off-season letting.
Climate
More than 300 days of sunshine a year and mild winters that extend life on the terrace.
Beaches
Fine sand right in town at Postiguet, then a tram to the coves of neighbouring resorts.
Access
About 15 min from Alicante-Elche airport, one of the best served from Belgium.
