Things to do in Alicante Airport
Alicante-Elche Airport opens onto one of Spain's sunniest coastlines. Santa Bárbara Castle, perched on a dramatic rocky promontory above the city, offers sweeping Mediterranean views and is free to access via elevator from Playa del Postiguet. The Explanada de España — a stunning marble-mosaic promenade along the harbor — is perfect for a stroll and a coffee. Local tapas bars in the old town (El Barrio) serve excellent caldero rice and fresh seafood at great prices.
