Located in the historic center of Alicante and right in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria, it’s the perfect place to admire exceptional contemporary art. In addition to enjoying its permanent collection, it offers temporary exhibitions of the highest quality and cultural activities for all ages.

3. Enjoy the Good Weather Outdoors.

Among the many trails and hiking routes the city offers, we recommend a walk through the paths of La Ereta Park. Located at the foot of the Santa Barbara Castle and facing the Mediterranean Sea, this green oasis is ideal for a peaceful walk, whether alone or in good company.
This is the best way to discover the region’s native flora and fauna while you let yourself be charmed by the warm weather that the city offers in winter.

4. Experience Alicante's Vibrant Festivities

Alicante is a city with a deep-rooted festive tradition, and this season is packed with exciting celebrations! Carnival is the most anticipated festival, lasting an entire week. The famous Sabado Ramblero will take place on March 1st, promising lots of laughter and fun. As Carnival comes to an end, Lent begins, as a prelude to Holy Week, which is recognized as a Festival of National Tourist Interest in Alicante.

5. Discover the Mediterranean from the Castle

Last but not least, you can’t leave without visiting the most visited monument in the Valencian Community: the Santa Barbara Castle. The breathtaking views alone will leave you speechless, but if you get the chance to attend a free outdoor concert, it’s even better!

Starting February 1st, the Baluarte concerts will take place every Saturday mornings. To check the schedule, visit the website www.conciertosdelbaluarte.es
