Tips for Family

Discover the Cape Coves

For a calmer beach day and crystal clear waters, explore the rocky coves of Cabo de las Huertas. They are local favorites.

The 'Mushroom Street'

Look for Calle San Francisco, a colorful pedestrian street decorated with giant mushrooms. It's a fun place to walk around and take photos, especially with kids.

Lunch Schedules

Alicante people eat late. Lunch is usually between 2:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and dinner no earlier than 9:00 p.m.

The Nap is Real

Many small shops and local businesses close after lunch, approximately from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., especially outside the tourist center.

Tap Water is Drinkable

Tap water is safe for consumption, although due to its high lime content, many locals prefer to drink bottled water for its flavor.

Pharmacies

They are identified with a green cross. They offer professional advice for minor ailments and there are pharmacies on duty open 24 hours a day.

Keep an eye on your belongings

Alicante is very safe, but in busy areas such as the beach, the market or during parties, keep an eye on your bag and wallet to avoid theft.

Beware of the Sun

The sun can be very strong, even outside of summer. Always wear sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat, and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
