Shoul be in good shape as its quite a lot of going uphill and in hot weather you feel it even more. But the views from the castle are beautiful and our guide was great. We learned a lot.
We recently took a guided tour of Alicante that, sincerely, left us delighted. Mary, our guide, was a real charm: attentive, friendly and with an energy that infected. From the beginning, he cared to meet us and adapted the visit to our interests. My parents, who often tire quickly, felt comfortable all the time, and my nephews, who are sometimes bored in these kinds of activities, were attentive and participatory thanks to the stories and anecdotes that Mary shared. The tasting of nougat and Fondillón was the golden clasp. We discovered unique flavors and learned about Alicante wines. The Fondillón, with its centuries-old history, conquered us completely. And nougat... a delight! I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to know Alicante in an authentic and close way. And of course, endless thanks to Mary for making it possible!
