| Alicante Travel Guide for backpackers |
Alicante, situated on a bay between two capes on the east coast of Spain and is a backpackers dream location. It has stretched out beaches, great festivals, all night parties and gracious castles with loads of historical places to embark on. The city has an African flavour with hawkers selling African carvings along the waterfront and esplanades.
The numerous glorious beaches are a must see. This is one of the city's strong points. Alicante's mild climate makes beach-life feasible practically all year round. The best in Spain, is la Playa de San Juan, a bus ride away from the city centre. Nudists, should head for the coves of Cabo de las Huertas. |
