Alicante is a key point of tourism in the country thanks to its large hotel capacity and its air connection with the major European capitals. It's said that Alicante is the nicest of the capitals of the community, a city with a magical location between the sea and the mountains. In the words of the local poet Gil-Albert, Alicante looks uninterruptedly to the Mediterranean.
Alicante is a good city to discover on foot since the distances are not too big. It also has an extensive bus network with which you can reach the most important places of the city. There's also the option of the tram, which has multiple lines.
There are several prominent places in the city of Alicante you cannot miss. The Castillo de Santa Barbara is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain. From up there you can see the bay of Alicante. There are some buildings like the City Hall with its baroque architecture while the Central Market is art nouveau style. In the city center, you'll find the Cathedral of San Nicolás and the Convent of the Agustinas. The old town is known as El Barrio, it's the most historic zone of the city and it concentrates the most monuments and landmarks. Santa Cruz, the top of the old town, has a special charm with its pedestrian streets and whitewashed houses. The Carbonell building, known as the Casa Carbonell, is one of the most unique buildings of the city and it's situated on the esplanade. The Port is the main promenade of the city, perfect for going for a walk, seeing the typical stalls or resting having a drink on the terraces. Another attraction are the beaches of Alicante.

The Hogueras de San Juan are the festivities of the city and they were declared of International Touristic Interest. It's a tradition to swim in the sea at midnight. The Moors and Christians festivities are the main ones around Alicante and a magnificent representation of the Reconquista against the Arabs takes place.
