Nice stop off point when walking around the Harbour looking at the fantastic boats. Plenty of bars and restaurants to visit where you can stop off and get a refreshing drink or two.

Set on quite a large roundabout, this central landmark boasts cooling fountains and – if you're not too sure of your directions in Alicante - is a great way to remember where you started. Its underground tram station is accessible via escalators (or a lift), and there are numerous shops, cafés and banks nearby. Head south, i.e. downhill, for the El Corte Ingles department store and the city beach.
5. Parque de Canalejas
6. Paseo Federico Soto

Set in the midst of Alicante old town ,you will find Calle de Las Setas (street of the mushrooms!) Yes there are lots of mushrooms as well! An amble down this shaded street will bring you across lovely little boutiques and quaint traditional tapas bars. Well worth a walk down.
