8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

14 EXCURSIONS

Nestled along the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, on Spain's southeastern Costa Blanca lies Alicante. Long hailed for its beautiful beaches, historical landmarks, vibrant culture, and Mediterranean charm, Alicante is far more than a sum of its parts. Inquisitive visitors will find a mix of historical sites, modern amenities, and natural beauty, making it an appealing location for travelers looking to explore the coastal regions of Spain. Visitors wanting to top up their tans should head to Playa del Postiguet, which provides an oasis of relaxation against a backdrop of the azure sea. If you are after a taste of local life, then head along the Explanada de España, a palm-lined promenade, where you'll see groups of friends converge to stroll, sip coffee, and bask in the Mediterranean sun. But it is not all fun in the sun - the town's history is interwoven with civilizations that have left their mark such as the Santa Barbara Castle, perched atop Mount Benacantil, is a testament to the city's strategic significance over the centuries.

Castellon, Spain

aug 20, 2026

8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

5 EXCURSIONS

Moats, walls and towers once protected this medieval city, the main town in the Spanish province of the same name. Now visitors are welcomed with warm smiles, orange-tree-lined streets and grand squares guarding splashing fountains. History buffs will go crazy for the 15th-century belltower, baroque town hall and gothic doors of the cathedral. Meanwhile, foodies can get lost among the 80 stalls of the central market; the Valencian region is a lip-smacking larder of ingredients, from persimmons and pomegranates to the tiger nuts that go into the frothy chilled drink horchata. Along the coast there are Blue Flag beaches with butterscotch-colored sands for swimming and sunbathing.
