Presided over by a castle, Alicante is
one of the most tourist cities in the Mediterranean. The
quality beaches are among its main attractions but not the only one: a
special luminosity, a welcoming character, a delicious gastronomy, its history and an emblematic walk marked by palm trees which isn't called by chance 'the esplanade of Spain'.
