The streets of Alicante are filled with devotion during Easter Week, a Festival of National Tourist Interest, with impressive processions that wind through the city. In addition, you can’t miss the emblematic Pilgrimage of the Santa Faz, one of the most popular pilgrimages in Spain, where thousands of people flock to the Monastery of the Santa Faz to venerate the relic of the Veronica and enjoy a festive day in the open air.

3. Outdoor sports

With the good spring weather, Alicante becomes the perfect setting to enjoy outdoor sports. From hiking routes through the city’s parks and places like Cabo de la Huerta, to water activities such as paddle surfing, kayaking or open water swimming. If you love running, you’ll love running along the Explanada and Postiguet Beach at dawn.

4. Shopping and local crafts

In Alicante you can wander through neighbourhoods steeped in history with bustling local commerce and enjoy shopping that combines tradition and modernity: from the vibrant Central Market to the charming local boutiques, the city offers much more than just souvenirs. The province’s unique handicrafts, such as espadrilles, esparto baskets and traditional dresses, reflect the local know-how.

5. Excursion to Tabarca Island

Make the most of spring to visit the paradisiacal island of Tabarca, the only inhabited island in the Valencia Region. Its crystal-clear waters and rich historical heritage make it the perfect destination for a getaway. Stroll through its cobbled streets, taste the famous Tabarca stew and relax in its dreamy coves.
