The old town of Alicante sits between the port and Mount Benacantil, where Santa Bárbara Castle looks over the city and the sea. In a short walk you pass a baroque town hall, the Explanada de España built over a dyke and the Basilica of Santa María.
On this page there are two free tours: a 2.5-hour walk through the historic centre, guided in English, and a 90-minute visit to the castle, guided in Spanish. Booking is free and you tip the guide at the end. Groups are limited to six people.
Good to know before you go
- Summers are hot: bring water and a hat, and comfortable shoes, since the tours are on foot.
- The centre walk is flat, but the castle is on top of Mount Benacantil. You can get up by lift, bus, taxi or on foot (30 to 40 minutes), and the lift queues are long in high season.
- Look for the guide with an orange umbrella and arrive 10 to 15 minutes early.
