Alicante is located on Spain's eastern coast, about halfway down the
Costa Blanca to the south of Valencia and Benidorm. Alicante is one of
Spain's oldest cities, tracing its history back to the Romans more than
2,000 years ago. Its original name ”Lucentum” translates as ”City of
Light”.
Alicante’s location between the sea and mountains enriches the city with
a captivating beauty. It also has a rich cultural history.
The city’s main landmark, the Castillo de Santa Bárbara is one of the biggest mediaeval fortresses in Spain. It is situated on
Mount Benacantil in the centre of Alicante and is an exceptional
portrayal of Alicante's Moorish history.
Most people do not know this, but Spain is the second most
mountainous country in Europe, which provides stunning sceneries for
your trips. |
