RUTA

Puerta del Mar

Alicante was a walled city until the 19th century. In 1858, Queen Isabel II visited Alicante to inaugurate the train connecting the city to Madrid. Taking advantage of this occasion and considering that the city could no longer expand due to its walls, permission was requested from the queen to demolish them. This is how the city began to expand. On this route, we will explore the area where the new city emerged in the second half of the 19th century.

RUTA

Alicante Central Market

The visit will begin in the square located at the back of the market, now named “25 de Mayo” commemorating one of the most severe bombings against civilians in Europe. It occurred in 1938, at 11:15 in the morning on May 25th when the Central Market (Mercado Central) was crowded with people shopping (mostly women and children). We will see the memorial created on the site to commemorate more than 300 direct victims, along with over two thousand others affected.

RUTA

Interior of the Central Market

Apart from enjoying the magnificent architecture of this early 20th-century building and experiencing the dynamic atmosphere of the stalls, we will visit a display cabinet that houses the market clock, frozen at the time of the bombing, as well as the air raid siren that failed to work on that terrible day.

RUTA

Air Raid Shelter of Plaza Balmis

This is a small-sized shelter. Like the others, it was built under the coordination of a Municipal Passive Defense Commission, which built up to 94 shelters throughout the city, making Alicante one of the most important European cities in this type of construction. Observe the shape of the doors (similar to those on submarines), designed this way to avoid contamination by chemical bombs (toxic gases).

Soon launching our new website, now featuring online shopping: https://refugiosdealicante.es/

Information and reservations:

For schools or groups, please consult availability.

RUTA

Plaza de Seneca

We will walk a bit further through the city’s second expansion area, what used to be the industrial and warehouse zone of the port (now the Barrio de Seneca-Autobuses), to reach the current Plaza de Seneca where the bus station was located until a few years ago. Its main building, now called Hall Seneca, has been restored and features two large murals by the Alicante painter Gaston Castello, showcasing the tourist attractions of the city and province of Alicante.

RUTA

Plaza de Seneca Shelter

In this square, the Alicante Town Hall has restored and opened to the public an important air-raid shelter from the Spanish Civil War. This particular shelter is much larger, with a capacity to accommodate up to 1,200 people. Visitors can listen to and “experience” the sensations those individuals felt through two recordings that recreate the sounds of the bombings.

For schools or groups, please consult availability.
