 About Alicante 
Alicante the capital of the Costa Blanca offers the most varied landscapes and the most enviable contrasts. A cultural city with parks, gardens, night-life and a city centre with lots of businesses. Alicante also enjoys its fine sand beaches with multiple services.

The beaches, port and promenade are characteristic for Alicante. The fine sands of San Juan beach in the north stretches 3 km to Cape Huertas which separates it from the popular Albufereta beach. In the south of the port lies Saladar beach.

The port is the busiest leisure area in Alicante with restaurants, pubs and discos, a yacht club and marina with possibilities for learning to sail.

With hundreds of miles of beaches, turquoise waters and welcoming communities, this beautiful Spanish paradise is known primarily as a tourist destination- meaning accommodation is often expensive. You may want to consider a timeshare if you're looking to save money without sacrificing quality or space. When you rent timeshare at a resort, you can save thousands while securing luxurious lodgings in beautiful Alicante!
