Mødestedet. En ikonisk bygning, der repræsenterer det XX. århundredes ankomst. Beliggende på Explanada de España repræsenterer den den modernistiske stil i byen og er en bygning, der markerede en æra inden for turisme og byudvikling. Herfra vil vi begynde vores rute gennem byen for at opdage dens mest charmerende hjørner.
Rådhuset er selve centrum af byen, hvorfra Calle Mayor og Santa Cruz-kvarteret strækker sig. Det er et miljø fyldt med liv, butikker, monumenter og restauranter, hvor besøgende kan glæde sig over livsstil, bylandskaber og vores bedste produkter. Rådhuset blev bygget i det 18. århundrede og rummer målepunktet for alle højder i Spanien.
En af de mest ikoniske udsigter i byen og det gamle kvarter. En barokkirke, der indkapsler byens historie, og hvorfra vi kan nyde en fantastisk udsigt. Kirken var en del af bymuren og rummer en interessant samling af barokkunst. Lige ved siden af ligger museet for samtidskunst, hvorfra vi vil have en unik panoramaudsigt over byen.
Slottet Santa Bárbara var oprindelsen af den muslimske by Alicante. Den har tre byggeperioder og forklarer de vigtigste begivenheder, som byen har oplevet, fra den muslimske erobring til den spanske borgerkrig. Vi vil passere gennem Puerta de la Santa Faz for at nå "matxo" af slottet (den øverste del), og derefter vil du nyde en drink på en af de mest magiske terrasser i byen.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and the history of the area that he provided was excellent. The castle was amazing!
Marieta listened to our needs and did what we asked! 👍
My wife and I met Javier. We started with a shuttle ride up to Santa Barbara Castle. As the shuttle ride wound its way up the castle Javier began telling us about the history of some of the sights/buildings the shuttle passed. When we made our way to the castle the history of the castle from the early beginnings to the present day continued. Javier was an amazing guide through history of not only the castle but also Alicante as far as the eyes could see. Our tour of the castle finished by walking down to Alicante through the barrio Santa Cru (?) known for it’s narrow pathways with white homes and blue color. Javier showed us discovered ruins in the city, churches, museums, the large nativity scene and so much more which I can’t describe here. It seemed that every time we turned a corner there was another piece of history which we happened upon. And with every turn there was someone who knew Javier. What could be more of a compliment than in a city that with every turn Javier was seemingly known by so many. Javier we can only say thank you for sharing your knowledge of Alicante and Spain with us. Great job!
Hopefully get the same guide we had. His knowledge, approach, his concerns for our safety and well being were sky high.

The guide Javier was very good and interressing. It was nice to be explained of the history. The downtown was clean and fun.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and Javier’s explanations. It’s great to know you had a good time exploring the city
I would give this tour company a zero if I could. They didn’t show up and left us stranded. We called them 10 times, sent messages and waited for 45 minutes. They ruined our only day in Alicante. Do not book with this company.

Tour guide never showed up and we tried calling 10 different times and no answer. Contacted Viator to hopefully get refunded.
