Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

You now arrive in front of the beautiful facade of the Basilica of Santa Maria. This is the oldest church in Alicante!
Casa Carbonell

Passing by

This impressive building, so symbolic of the explanada España, is known as Casa Carbonell. It is a private Inn built in the 1920s by Juan Vidal Ramos, who owes much of the architectural heritage of the Alicante region.
Alicante

Passing by

This new elevated walkway allows you to enjoy a pleasant walk by the sea while admiring the 360°C view. You can see behind you the marina of Alicante and its beautiful boats docked.
Alicante

Passing by

Then you have here the entrance for the elevator that takes you to the castle site, at the top of Mount Benacantil. After reflection, we decided to offer you access by elevator, although it is a paid service, which we never do.
Stop 5

Passing by

There we are, we have reached the summit of Mount Benacantil. If there are any among you who have climbed on foot, congratulations! You made a route of more than 3 kilometers and reached 169 meters high.
Cara Del Moro Monument

Passing by

Taking the Ereta Park down to the old town allows you to have beautiful views of the sparkling bay of Alicante. Balconies and views are plentiful on the way, so take your time and beautiful photos obviously!
Stop 7

Passing by

At the foot of Santa Barbara Castle, on the slopes of Mount Benancatil, is the picturesque Santa Cruz district, known as the Cuna de Alicante, the birthplace of the city.
Mercados de Alicante

Passing by

Here you are in front of a real institution in Alicante, its Central Point of Sale. A visit to a city is not complete, without having penetrated its gastronomic den, these halls.
Teatro Principal de Alicante

Passing by

On your left, you now have the Theatre of Alicante. As the name suggests, it is the main theatre of the city. Its construction dates back to 1845, at a time when Alicante thrives on its trade that goes as far as America.
Palacio El Portalet

Passing by

Just a word on the front door you see on your right. It leads to the Portalet Palace and allows you to discover the place for free.
Plaza Portal de Elche

Passing by

Here is a small square, full of charm as we like them. Is it for its 19th century booth, for its small tables that invite you to settle and take your time, or for its huge century-old ficus trees that offer us a well-deserved shade.
Stop 12

Passing by

Here you are in San Francisco Street, better known by its nickname Calle de las Setas, rue des mushrooms. Barely a step down this street, you are propelled into the middle of a children’s tale where giant insects and mushrooms 4 meters high rub shoulders, on a floor with colorful cobbles.
Placa De Gabriel Miro

Passing by

You now arrive at the beautiful little square of Gabriel Miro, named in honor of the native writer of the city. You may hear locals call it the plaza de Correos, for the old post and telegraph building you have on your left.
Stop 14

Passing by

At the end of the esplanade, you see a square that marks the entrance to a park. The square, monument and park are named in honor of José Canalejas.
Stop 15

Passing by

Rio to its Copacabana esplanade, Nice, its English promenade, and Alicante has its Spanish Explanada. A path lined with palm trees, along the sea, and whose mosaic floor, made of more than 6 million stools of tricolor marble, draws the emblematic waves of the city.
Stop 16

Passing by

You are right in the centre of Alicante, in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento, the Plaza del Inn for those who do not speak Spanish. The town hall is housed in a beautiful baroque palace of the 18th century, built between 1699 and 1780.
Stop 17

Passing by

Here you are, in front of the Cathedral of San Nicola in Bari, one of the most important churches in Alicante, named in honor of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the city.
