Cheap Alicante Hotels

What to see by car: Alicante

Exploring the wider region is particularly rewarding and the visitor can choose to spend a day out on the coast, explore beautiful valleys or venture high into the mountainous north. Also within convenient reach of Alicante are many quaint villages worth exploring; try to visit each on their separate market days. Particularly popular attractions in the area include the village of Jijona, which is the birthplace of Turr, and the Caves of Canelobre, a true marvel of nature with their magnificent stalactites and stalagmites

For beaches, nearby Moraira is a quiet sheltered bay with good swimming and sunbathing as well as lively beachside entertainment. El Portet Beach around the bay is also a popular visit. Travelling along the coast, the towns of Calpe and Altea are worth a stop. Calpe is famous for its wide variety of seafood restaurants; and Altea is known for its day market which stretches along the seafront.

Heading inland the visitor can enjoy the largest palm forest in Europe at Elche, a uniquely subtropical area, just south of Alicante. The Jalon Valley is also unique for its beautiful almond, orange and lemon groves and its stunning nearby Cascada de El Algar waterfalls. Wineries abound in the valleys and there are many bodegas where you can taste wine and stock up your own cellars at reasonable prices.

Heading to the mountains on the road to Castella, the more adventurous can visit Maigmó Mountain (1296 m). The ascent is pleasant and offers panoramic views of the Castella Mountains and the Alicante plain, with the blue Mediterranean in the background. Guadalest, a small walled village high in the ranges offers similarly breathtaking vistas.

The only inhabited island in Valencia, Tabarca, is located off the Cabo de Santa Pola near Alicante city. Once a refuge for pirates, the island is more renowned today for its clear waters and was recently declared an official Mediterranean marine nature reserve. There is a diverse range of marine life, snorkelling is particularly popular. The island's small fishing village offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy splendid seafood cuisine; and transport is regularly offered from the mainland to the port.
