PROVINCE OF ALICANTE

Alicante: Land of Endless Opportunities Alicante is a land always attentive to new opportunities, and the tourism opportunity was discovered early on with great clarity of ideas. Few territories have made such effective use of their capabilities, and few places treat visitors as well, surrounded by so much excellence.

Benidorm is perhaps the most well-known tourist destination. Its urban development began in the late 1950s with a clear idea: to become a major center for tourist services. They succeeded.
Alicante, the capital, holds an intense history that combines bombings with the struggle to gain ground from the sea. History and prehistory have left prominent marks in Alicante, the ancient Akra Leuka.

Altea, a coastal town and birthplace of artists, takes advantage of the light and gentle coastal elevations to present itself to the world as one of the most beautiful cities on the Costa Blanca. Very close by is one of nature’s gifts: the Peñón de Ifach in Calpe.

In Alicante, we find the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community, Tabarca, where it is unforgivable to miss the Tabarcan Fisherman’s Stew if you are going to enjoy its crystal-clear waters. Time seems to freeze when you pass through the entrance arch of the village of Guadalest.
In the province, we encounter emblematic cities like Alcoy, an industrial capital and a top-notch economic engine, or Xixona, the birthplace of nougat.

The Vinalopó Valley places us in history and in the production of grapes and wines It also forms a space of significant industrial concentration spanning up to four Alicante regions and influencing the life of well-known cities like Villena, Elda, Petrer, Elche, or Santa Pola.
For those seeking contact with nature, it is necessary to approach the Sierra de Mariola, where aromatic plants reign.
Denia or Xàbia are cities widely known for the quality of their services and the gastronomy they offer to their visitors.
