Alicante is the second largest town in the Valencia region. Full of new projects, it has completely transformed itself in less than a decade from a poor un impressive port to an attractive spot with a lively nightlife. Alicante, unlike its coastal neighbours, is a real town, living for so much more than tourism alone. While there you can enjoy the nightlife on the beach and in the town’s centre but do visit the excellent museums as well, and try a wonder around in the evenings to soak up the feel of the place. Alicante's true charm is its character and individuality.
