Alicante
EUROPE · GOLDEN HOUR · CASTLE VIEWS
The Costa Blanca's capital: castle above, marina below, esplanade in between.
The plan
Castillo de Santa Bárbara
Take the lift up inside the mountain, walk down through the old quarter at sunset.
Explanada de España
Six million marble tiles in waves. Do the paseo like a local: slow, at dusk, ice cream in hand.
Playa del Postiguet
City beach under the castle — morning swims with a fortress view.
El Barrio at night
The old quarter turns into one big terrace after dark. Start at Plaza de la Santísima Faz.
Tabarca island day trip
A flat little island of blue doors and grilled fish, one short boat ride away.
