Alicante is one of those Mediterranean cities blessed with pleasant weather all year round, with hot summers and mild winters. Its semi-arid climate means little rainfall and exceptional sunshine — making it a perfect place to enjoy the beach even outside of peak season, and to escape the crowds that flock to the Costa Brava in July and August. May, June, September and October are all great months to visit, with temperatures still warm enough for swimming. In June and September, highs average around 27°C, and in July and August they can easily top 30°C — with temperatures expected to keep rising in the years to come.
Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audioguide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: Town Hall Square, Plaza del Ayuntamiento
InterParking Plaza del Puerto : Muelle de Levante You can park along the streets by paying, but be aware that these spots are limited to 2 hours — or just 1 hour in residential areas marked in orange — so they’re not exactly the most convenient. There are free parking zones too, marked with white lines and located outside the historic centre. However, these spots are often already taken by locals, so finding one can be tricky. The best option is to go for a paid, supervised car park — like the one we recommended.
Alicante’s star attraction is its castle perched high above the city, free to visit. To keep things simple, we suggest taking the paid lift, which will bring you up to the castle site for a small fee. Then you can enjoy a pleasant walk back down through Ereta Park. If you’d rather hike up, there’s also a marked trail leading to the top — we’ve indicated the access point on the map.
