Plaza Mar 2 Shopping Centre

With eight permanent exhibitions and interactive and child-friendly displays, it’s not surprising this museum once won the European Museum of the Year Award.

Alicante’s city beach offers a clean, child-friendly day out, surrounded by some of the best restaurants in town.

Looming over the city center, this hilltop castle is the main attraction in Alicante and one of the largest castles in Europe.

See art treasures by Picasso, Dalí and Miró, as well as works by big international names of the 20th century, within the walls of one of the city’s oldest buildings.

For more than 500 years this church has been at the heart of Alicante’s Roman Catholic community. Today it’s worth a visit just for its inspiring architecture.

Still the home of the Alicante civic life, this landmark structure is a superb example of 18th-century baroque architecture.
