Alicante
A cosmopolitan city where sun, sea and city life come together
Cosmopolitan living on the Mediterranean
International accessibility, a rich cultural life and year-round sunshine
Alicante is the vibrant capital of the province and the Costa Blanca — a city that offers everything: an international airport just 12 km away, a lively harbour (El Puerto), the impressive Castillo de Santa Bárbara on the rock above the city, and the expansive El Postiguet beach right in the city centre. With over 300,000 residents, it is also a real university city with a young, dynamic character.
For property investors and homebuyers, Alicante offers a wide choice: from modern apartments in the city centre and on the seafront to spacious villas in the green outskirts such as Playa San Juan and Cabo de las Huertas. The combination of urban amenities, international connections and a Mediterranean climate makes Alicante one of the most sought-after locations on the Costa Blanca.
