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.

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.
