About Alicante

Alicante is an up-and-coming tourist metropolis on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, more precisely on the Costa Blanca south of Valencia.

Among the 330,000 inhabitants, both the regional language Valencian (related to Catalan) and Spanish (Castilian) are spoken. The co-official Valencian name of the city is Alacant.

Alicante's sights include the Castillo de Santa Bárbara on Mount Benacantil, the palm-lined waterfront promenade Explanada de España and the picturesque Santa Cruz quarter in the Old Town of Alicante. The Museum of Contemporary Art in the Casa de La Asegurada houses a large collection of 20th century works, including works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró.

In terms of gastronomy, Alicante stands out for its traditional and modern Mediterranean cuisine, countless different rice dishes and regional wines.

Annual highlights and queer events in Alicante are, among others, the Bonfires of Saint John (Fogueres de Sant Joan) in June and the Alicante Gay Pride (Orgullo LGBT de Alicante) in July.
