🌍 About Alicante

Alicante is rice country, not paella country — order arroz a banda, where the rice cooks in concentrated fish stock and arrives separately from the seafood it was made with (the name means "rice on the side"). The city's distinctive quarter is Santa Cruz, steep tiled lanes climbing the hill below Santa Bárbara castle, which sits on a 166m crag right over the beach — take the lift cut up through the rock, not the climb. Nearby Jijona makes Spain's best turrón. Time a visit for the Hogueras de San Juan (June 20–24), when neighbourhoods build satirical sculptures and burn them all on the night of the 24th. June is hot, dry, and mobbed; May and September give you the same warm sea with cheaper fares and room to move.
