Alicante – a Mediterranean city with a beach in the centre
Alicante is the capital of the province and one of the most important cities on the entire Costa Blanca coastline. It combines a functioning year-round city with a wide beach located directly next to the centre. This allows residents to live in a large, well-developed urban area while enjoying daily access to the sea, promenade and recreational areas.
The city’s symbol is the Santa Bárbara Castle overlooking the bay, as well as the Explanada de España promenade lined with restaurants, cafés and meeting places for residents. Alicante is not only tourism — it is a fully functioning city with a university, offices, hospitals and public administration, which is why many buyers choose it for permanent living.
Among the beaches, the best known is Playa del Postiguet — a sandy beach located in the very centre, next to the harbour and the old town. A few minutes away is the several-kilometre-long Playa de San Juan, one of the longest and most valued beaches in the region, with a wide promenade, restaurants and residential areas.
Alicante offers full urban infrastructure: international schools, public transport (TRAM and railway), shopping centres, private clinics and hospitals. The city also has a marina, ferry port and direct air connections to many European countries.
Restaurants, bars, cultural events, concerts and festivals operate throughout the year. Unlike smaller towns, it is not a seasonal resort — city life continues even in winter.
Location and transport
• Alicante-Elche Airport – approx. 15–20 minutes
• San Juan Playa – approx. 8 km
• El Campello – approx. 15 km
• Torrevieja – approx. 50 minutes
Thanks to the quick access from the airport, the city is convenient both for permanent residents and second-home owners.
In Alicante, properties mainly include apartments in the centre and near the beach, sea-view flats and new developments in areas such as San Juan Playa. The location is popular both among remote workers and investors seeking year-round rental income.
Why choose Alicante
• a city active 12 months a year
• a beach in the city centre
• quick access from the airport
• full urban infrastructure
• university and job market
• year-round rental potential
Alicante is an ideal option for those who want to combine city life with a seaside climate — living in Spain not only for holidays, but every day, with access to all services and amenities.
