See local archaeology with an ultra-modern twist at the innovative MARQ museum.

Spend lost Alicante holiday afternoons cafe-hopping along the palm-fringed Explanada de España promenade. Enjoy early-evening snacks in narrow streets around San Nicolás Cathedral or beneath wrought-iron balconies in Alicante's higgledy-piggledy Santa Cruz area. Savour rice and seafood on your holiday in Alicante at El Puerto terraces suspended dazzlingly over the sea.

Nightlife on holidays in Alicante

Nights warm up after midnight on Alicante holidays. Meet in lively bars in maze-like El Barrio, where the music tumbles out onto the cobbles. Follow noisy 3am crowds to glamorous bars and crowded clubs on Alicante's Marina. On summer holidays in Alicante, join the party at laid-back bars on Postiguet and San Juan beaches.

Daytrips on holidays in Alicante

Catch a ferry to the clear waters and 18th-century watchtower of tiny Tabarca Island, off Alicante's coast. Head south-west on Alicante holidays to shelter in the extensive exotic palm groves at the Palmeral de Elche's tranquil UNESCO World Heritage Site. For breathtaking views on your holiday to Alicante, gaze dizzyingly down from the pretty village of Guadalest's Moorish fortress.
