Food Scene

Just the most wonderful fish restaurant and all served in paper. The atmosphere is great. You may have to be patient to get a table. It is often packed out.

Not a great place to stay but the restaurant is FAB. 7€ for 3 courses of home made food including a drink, salad and bread. I have never seen value like this in Europe for the quality of what you get. You will need to ask for a table in the morning otherwise you may be disappointed. 2 min from the apartment.

A great way to start on your "Tapas Journey", with a super selection which defines all that tapas is. It is a better option than some of the larger "franchise type" tapas chains.

A lovely bar with nice people. Pepa celebrates the republic constitution of Spain before the civil war. Alicante is very very republican.

The most famous castle in the city. The views are spectacular and it is open everyday. There is a Pay lift from street level next to the Postiguet beach. It will save you the walk which can be tough.

Great day out. Boat trips though the morning outbound and the same on the way back inbound in the afternoon / evening. The boats leave from the bottom of the Rambla and to your right 500m. Kontiki is one of three or four available. Food and water available on the island if you don't have a picnic. The sea is crystal clear, the village is a funny place and there are no trees. Take a wide brimmed hat and or parasol.
