Jet Off To Alicante
Alicante is not just a hotspot for celebrities (or should that be a hotspot for celebrity spotting?). This seriously stunning part of Spain's coast is home to a whole host of fabulous attractions that make it one of the best places to spend a holiday.

Located in the very South of Spain, the Costa Blanca offers oodles of sunshine, whatever the time of year (around 300 sunshiney days, in fact)! This means you're going to have glorious weather whatever the time of year of your visit.

But there is so much more to Alicante than stunning beaches! Here are some of the attractions you can look forward to:

Old Town (El Barrio)
Take a step back in time... Away from the hustle and bustle of the beach, you will find the charming, cobbled streets of the Old Town with colourful buildings and unique little cafés.

Castell de Santa Bàrbara (Santa Bárbara Castle)
Visit the ancient Castell de Santa Bàrbara, perched atop Mount Benacantil. Alicante's most distinctive landmark offers stunning panoramic views of the city and the coast, as well as a wealth of photo opportunities.

Castell de la Solana and Castell de Guadalest
There are actually several superb castles along this stretch of coast. If you have the time, it's worth taking a trip to Castell de la Solana and Castell de Guadalest, two fabulous medieval castles set against a dramatic background of stark rocky cliffs and gorgeous turquoise water.

Biking & hiking
The Costa Blanca is home to stunning hills & mountains, criss-crossed by numerous nature trails opening up to wonderful vistas. Those who love hiking & biking will find paradise in the Sierra de Aitana and the Font Roja Natural Park!

Food & drink
Alicante is well known for its bars & clubs, but did you know that it is also the home of many delicious Mediterranean dishes? Especially seafood lovers will be pleased with the fresh delicacies on offer: Enjoy a full-loaded paella (you'll see what we mean!) and fresh shrimp, washed down with tiger nut horchata and followed by desert featuring local turrón (a kind of nougat).

Best time to visit: all year round, but particularly during the shoulder months, March - May and September to November
