Gravina Muesum of Fine Arts

posted by byoung on 7 September 2011 at 12:00

The entrance may not look up to much but behind the facade you'll find loads of paintings of Alicante itself throughout the centuries as well as some other rather fine works of art. A great spot for a cloudy morning.

Basilica of Santa Maria

posted by xcasteel on 7 September 2011 at 11:59

The oldest church in town, and the most impressive with its ornate Gothic style. I love it here and think it's the perfect drop-in place if you're feeling too hot and bothered and just want somewhere pretty to go and sit for a bit.

Tabarca Island

posted by vcoldsmith on 7 September 2011 at 11:59

What a gorgeous place! We went for the day and loved it. The waters are so clear, but I didn't have my snorkel with me as I didn't know what to expect when I got on the ferry! Definitely worth making the trip.

Playa de San Juan

This is THE place to go for a beach party in the evening! Everyone gathers and there's plenty to do. One night there was a huge bonfire but mostly it's music, dancing etc etc

MACA

The modern art museum is small but in my opinion perfectly formed. There are some works by Picasso and Miro that really stood out as the highlights but the whole thing is lovely. I urge you to take an hour away from the beach and visit it!
