    This is one of the most largest medieval fortresses and one of the best preserved in Spain. The fortress has three campuses at different heights, and can be reached by cable car, so it's one of the most accessible places to visit in Alicante.

    And do not miss the Keep, the Parade or the Baluarte de la Reina, more things to see in Alicante. Another of the many historical attractions in Alicante is the castle of San Fernando. Built during the War of Independence to reinforce the defensive line of the city, it is perched on one of the hills surrounding the town of Alicante, the Tossal mountain.

    Once inside the city, Alicante's rich historical heritage is reflected in its numerous civic and religious buildings. The old part of the town offers a wealth of answers to the question of what to do in Alicante. Here you can see the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, the basilica of Santa Mara and the Ayuntamiento. Alicante Square also has numerous green areas, parks and promenades.

    The Esplanade of Spain, the marina of Alicante, is one of the most recognizable symbols of the city thanks to its undulating mosaic built with six million marble tiles. Next to the Marina, you'll find Park Canilejas. This is the oldest park in the city, with ancient ficus on display. Other Alicnate activities for nature lovers are the park The Palm, where you can rent a boat and cross the lake, and the nearby popular Santa Cruz.

    But we can not talk about stuff to do in Alicante without mentioning its great urban beaches like the beach of San Juan, Postiguet Beach and the coves of Cabo de las Huertas. To enjoy other beaches and coves, you can go to the neighboring island of Tabarca, a paradise just eleven nautical miles from the city..
