Take An Excursion From Alicante To Nearby Torrevieja

If you’re looking for an adventure, and Spain is on your travel agenda, then you’re surely going to want to do some sightseeing in Alicante, which is actually the second biggest city of the Valencia Province, in the wonderful region of Costa Blanca. You won’t be alone on your excursion being that more than six million people visit this region each year as tourists, most of them entering the area by way of the Alicante airport.

If your thing is to visit museums or historical buildings when you’re sightseeing around town then you’ll want to visit The Old City Center, which has a plethora of these types of places for you to see. You’ll certainly take away the wonderful experience of Spanish culture and history as you visit this area. It would actually take you days to see all that this area has to offer, so your plans should include a few days in this vicinity if this is what you enjoy.

One such museum in the area that you’ll want to check out, especially if you’re one who loves Christmas or are traveling with someone who does is The Nativity Scene Museum. This museum has free admission, and displays nativity scenes from all over the world.

Another popular attraction in the area is The Con Cathedral of San Nicolas de Bari. You’ll easily spot this building due to the big blue dome on the top of the church, which is a staple of the city actually. At the entrance of the church is a sculpture of Saint Nicholas made from black marble that is a beautiful site to behold.

If you’re looking for a great view of the city, you will be doing yourself a great service by visiting The Castle of Santa Barbara, one of the greatest Medieval fortresses in all of Europe. From atop the tower is the great view that you were searching for. This is also a place to see many great Spanish sculptures, as well as artifacts from as far back as the Bronze Age.

Now, if you’re a party person and want to enjoy the nightlife of Alicante, then visiting the Old Quarter, perhaps better known as the Barrio Santa Cruz, will be the place to be for at least one night of your trip to this city. You’ll find an array of pubs, bars, and restaurants in this area where you can enjoy music and dancing.

Of course a big part of the attraction of Alicante are the beaches of the area. The Costa Blanca, home of the longest summers in all of Spain, is perhaps one of the best places in the world to relax in the sun. Whether you’re shopping at the promenade of the beach or enjoying a quick bite at a near café you’re sure to remember this spot forever.

If you’re looking for a small excursion away from the city of Alicante, then you’ll be glad to know that only about 50km from the southwest section of Alicante lies the beautiful city of Torrevieja. This is a big fishing area being home to over 300 fishing ships and 900 private fishing sports boats. As well, this area is a huge producer of salt, producing more than five hundred thousand tons of salt each year. You’ll be able to enjoy hotels near the beach and great weather in this region as well, plus you’ll get the experience of the great culture and architecture around the city with vivacious buildings, churches, fountains, and sculptures.

All in all, your trip to Alicante is sure to be a great one.
