This castle stands on a hill approximately 160 metres above Alicante, offering a fantastic view of the port. Thanks to its unique location, it was a strategic stronghold during the Moorish rule. But there’s more … This is where the legend of The Face of the Moor comes to life. Beyond its historical roots, you can also admire art at one of the temporary exhibitions on display.

The distinctive district is centred around Santa Bárbara Castle, making it perfect to combine the two. The winding streets, colourful window frames, and bright flowers give the area an irresistible charm. The white-and-blue houses also make for Instagram-worthy photos. Savour delicious tapas in the cosy local restaurants.

Following a day of cultural exploration, unwind in one of our holiday homes with a private pool on the Costa Blanca.   

Alicante’s famous promenade is a wonderful place to stroll past small stalls nestled among palm trees. What makes the promenade so popular today is its mosaic floor: marble pebbles arranged in a wavy pattern that colours the space in red, blue, and white. At night, it becomes an atmospheric spot to gaze at sunsets or take in an open-air concert. 

For those who never get tired of golden sunsets, view our holiday homes with panoramic views on the Costa Blaca.
