Alicante is a beach-lover's dream, from Postiguet to Levante. Along Spain's Costa Blanca coastline, navy blue waters transform into an inviting turquoise under swaying palm trees. Santa Bárbara Castle brims with history atop Mount Benacantil, while the Explanada de España offers exciting strolls past outdoor concerts and burnished sunsets. The City of Light lives up to its name during the annual Hogueras Festival, as the beach is set ablaze with bonfire parties.
