Alicante could easily be described as one of the most beautiful areas of Spain and consequently it attracts thousands of visitors.

This metropolitan city is located at the base of Mount Benecantil an imposing mountain that can be seen from miles around Alicante. The area is one of the fastest growing cities in Spain and its reputation as a great holiday destination is pulling in tourists year after year.

Are you planning on visiting Alicante Spain in the near future? If you have decided to visit the area then the following information details the most popular activities available in the region.

The best place to start is with the beach. After all why else do we go on holiday? These beaches are stunning and it must be said that they do get extremely busy as a result of their popularity. The ideal time to arrive at the beach is before 10am so that you can get the best sunspot available! You may find that the beaches get quieter between 14.00 and 16.00 and this is because the Spanish leave for their siestas. Playa del Postiguet is situated at the base of Mount Benecantil and is in an extremely convenient situation. The tram lines run alongside the beach, the Marina is very close to the beach and the shops are too. The latest craze to hit Alicante is sand boarding and if this doesn’t appeal to you then there is plain sunbathing and swimming!

If you visit Playa del Postiguet then you must take a trip across the road and visit the famous Santa Barbara Castle. The castle is situated high up on Mount Benecantil and there is a lift which will whizz you to the top of the mountain. When you get there you will be amazed at the view that unfolds before your very eyes.

Water sports are available for those seeking thrills out on the sea. There are a number of sporting activities available such as wakeboarding, jet skiing, canoeing, diving, kneeboarding and flying inflatables!

Maybe these adventurous water sports are not for you but you would still like to get out on the sea. In that case you could take a wander down to the harbour where the option of boat rental is available for you.

After all this activity you can satisfy your hunger by visiting one of the amazing and welcoming seafood restaurants. The restaurants and bars will stay open late so if dancing is on the agenda then you have no excuse! You may find that most of the restaurants don’t open until after 9pm so grab a smaller meal earlier in the day so you can last through til late evening.

The Costa Blanca attracts golfers by the hundreds. If you would like to have a round of golf then there are fifteen 18 hole golf courses within a 2 hour drive of Alicante. So now would be a good time to try out one of the best courses in the region. Your only problem will be deciding on which golf course you should play. Not the best golfer? It doesn’t matter the region is a mecca for golfers of all abilities.

One last activity that absolutely must be on your ‘to do’ list is to visit one of the popular theme parks. Terra Mitica, Terra Natura and Aqualandia are the most popular theme parks in the area and are only a 20 minute drive away from Alicante. These parks offer a fabulous day out for the whole family but be warned they can be tiring during the hot, summer months.
