The city of Alicante is the capital of the eponymous province located south of the Valencian Community, on the east coast of Spain. It covers more than 200 km2 of surface area and has a population close to 340,000 inhabitants, making it the second most populous locality in the region.
It is located on the Costa Blanca, next to the sea and in a strategic location as it has El Altet Airport just 15 minutes away and is perfectly connected by highway with cities such as Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, or Murcia.
It borders to the south with Elche, the third most important city in the Community in terms of population, and internationally known for the Palmeral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a unique landscape formed by the more than 200,000 palm trees that inundate the city.
Being the capital of the province, Alicante is in full swing every month of the year.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular excursions for tourists and residents is the visit to the island of Tabarca, an islet that does not exceed 2 kilometers in area and is located just over 20 kilometers, or 11 nautical miles, from the city of Alicante.
It is the only inhabited island in the Valencian Community. Here you can find some tourist accommodations and several restaurants where you can taste the typical "caldero tabarquino", which consists of a fish dish and seafood rice accompanied with aioli.
Another attraction of Tabarca, which is actually an archipelago formed by several islets, is its marine reserve, whose beauty can be contemplated by snorkeling or diving through its crystal clear waters.
