The best things Spanish students can do in Alicante

The city of Alicante is one of the best destinations of the Costa Blanca, a place full of life with a large offer of activities for students undertaking a course in one of the Spanish schools in Alicante. We leave you with 8 pieces of advice to never get bored in this Mediterranean city:

• To walk around the Esplanade de España and have a beer, an ice cream or have dinner in one of the restaurants along the esplanade.

• To spend the day on one of the magnificent beaches of the city: the playa del Postiguet near the centre of Alicante; or the playa de San Juan, which is situated at a few kilometres from the city.

• To rent a car and do a tourist route with your friends from the Spanish school in the localities of the province like Benidorm, Altea, Calpe or Denia.

• Visit the most representative places and buildings of the city such as the castle of Saint Barbara, from where you can enjoy great views of Alicante, the Central Market, the Town House, the cathedral of San Nicolas and the basilica of Santa Maria. It is also a good option to go see an exhibition in the archaeological museum in Alicante.

• To go to the island of Tabarca, the only inhabited island from the Valencian Community. You can get there with the famous Kontiki boat or with a catamaran. It is ideal to spend a relaxed day on the beach.

• To go out in the area of the Casco Antiguo where there are many bars where you can enjoy the music and where you can have a drink with your friends from the Spanish school in Alicante. During Summer, the night life area on the beach of San Juan is ideal and can be enjoyed all night long.
