Round trip through Spain

Santa Bárbara Castle offers panoramic views, while the Explanada de España promenade is lined with palm trees and cafés. The old town, Barrio de la Santa Cruz, enchants with narrow streets and vibrant nightlife. Alicante’s mix of relaxation and culture makes it a Mediterranean favourite.
