Self Guided Tour of Alicante Hannibal, Bonfires and Cannonballs
Description
A single bronze nail inside Alicante's city hall defines the height of every mountain in Spain. You'll learn why on this self guided audio walking tour of Alicante, narrated through the Tourific app. No guide, no group, just you and the city at your pace. Over two and a half hours, you'll trace 2,200 years of history layered into one hill, from Hannibal's childhood fortress to the medieval Andalusi walls. Stand in the market where 300 people died in three minutes during the Civil War. Decode the legend behind the face carved into the cliff above the castle. Visit the basilica that was once a great mosque. The audio works offline, you can pause anytime, and you start whenever you like. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self guided tours, and the tour comes with a full refund guarantee. If you want depth and flexibility on your Alicante walking tour, instead of being rushed between stops on someone else's clock, this is built for you.
