With a population of 350,000, Alicante is a large port city on the Costa Blanca in South Eastern Spain. Situated where it is, it benefits from the Mediterranean climate, and that means around 325 days of sunshine each year, and not too hot in summer and not cold in winter. Alicante is the capita of Alicante Province which has around 3 million visitors a year. The old town, Barrio de la Santa Cruz, has narrow streets with coloured houses decorated with flowers, and has a booming nightlife scene.
High up on the hill above the city sits Castillo de Santa Barbara, a castle built in the 9th century. There is a winding path which leads up from the old town, but if you are not feeling like the climb it is good to know that there is a lift. There are some amazing views from the rooftop ramparts, and lots of rooms with artefacts and historical documents. There is also a market in the courtyard that sells gifts and souvenirs, and a café, so you can spend the day here if you wish.
