Great castle, nice beach, shopping, museums, nightlife; Alicante is the centre of the Costa Blanca. Here's my pick of the top things to do.

Blogs from my balcony! Eating and drinking in Spain, great places to see, plenty of history and cool facts. All from the nicest town on the Costa Blanca!

Why go shopping in a soulless supermarket when you can buy from a Spanish mercado? They’re lively, great for people-watching and you never know when you’ll pick up a bargain. Villajoyosa has two, both well worth a visit. And there's also the elegant Mercado Central down the coast in Alicante.
