Cruising to Alicante
This pretty city lies on the east coast of Spain, towards the south. It boasts many hidden gems which remain unexplored by those who don’t know where to look. If you have a stop in Alicante on your Mediterranean cruise, be sure to make time for both exploring and relaxing. Alicante has a vast and interesting history, which has been traced back over 7000 years. Ancient settlements were centred on mount Benacantil, due to its favourable position as an outpost overlooking the sea. Today, the 9th century castle of Santa Barbara proudly remains here. In addition to this commanding site, there are a number of other must-see places. Explore the old Roman town of Lucentum, and relax while walking through beautiful and shaded parks such as Canalejas park, and El Palmeral. If you have enough time, a quick visit to the charming Island of Tabarca is a great way to spend a day, spotting the fish through your glass bottom boat on the way over. As a port city, Alicante boasts some fantastic seafood restaurants which use the finest local ingredients. Enjoy a traditional paella, some sweet Denia prawns, or for something slightly more adventurous, all i pebre – a strong dish made with eels, garlic, and chilli.
