Hidden On the Eastern Coast of Spain, Lies a Beautiful Treasure

That treasure is Alicante. It's a destination that I had not heard of until recently when a reader of ours asked us if we could give him some information about it. I'm sure glad that he did because it is truly a gem!

Alicante lies on the Eastern coast of Spain and is a destination that seems to have it all. Beaches with white sand and beautiful, clear turquoise water. It's filled with castles, is home to countless festivals, parties and discos and its inhabitants are so friendly that you may just not want to go back home!

With beaches that seem to stretch on forever, it is a city that is rich in both history and culture. Boasting every kind of shop and restaurant imaginable, your entertainment options are never ending. This is a city that screams the ultimate in beach life.

If you're the type that doesn't like to be immersed in a crowd of people or are looking for secluded little beaches, you should not travel to Alicante during summer high season. While this destination may be little known to North Americans, Europeans on the other hand, have been very happy to call this destination home during their holidays. It's a hot spot that is gaining more and more recognition.

Alicante thrives year round and for this reason, travel in the off or shoulder season would be the best time to go. You'll be able to save money on each aspect of your trip and you can fully immerse yourself in this beautiful beach culture known to Spain.

To kick off that vacation time, you'll want to start with a stroll along the city's main pedestrian walkway, the Explanada de España along the beach front. Lined with palm trees, shops and cafes, this boulevard stretches around the harbor and lies in front of the main part of the city. With the addition of the new tram network, getting around has just gotten easier. Head on over to Postiguet beach, where you can jump on the tram and head on over to San Juan Beach which is over 6 kilometres long. Take a stroll and enjoy the fabulous sunsets!

Here's another great way to spend a day...sailing on the Mediterranean Sea on a luxurious catamaran. Sailing, swimming, snorkeling, I can't think of a better way to spend a day!
