Provincial capital: the only real city on the Costa Blanca

Alicante is the capital of the province and the only real city on the Costa Blanca: 340,000 inhabitants, a university, public and private reference hospitals, an international airport (4th in Spain for passengers), a commercial and cruise port, direct AVE train to Madrid (2h 20 min), the urban beach of Postiguet in the city center, a historic district (Santa Cruz neighborhood) on the hillside of Santa Bárbara Castle, and the palm-lined promenade of the Explanada. It is a complete Mediterranean city, not just a holiday destination. The beach of San Juan (6 km of fine sand to the north) is one of the best urban beaches in Spain. Cultural life is vibrant (Archaeological Museum, Castle, MUBAG, ADDA Auditorium). Gastronomy: Alicante rice is a global reference, with Michelin-starred restaurants (Monastrell, Baeza & Rufete).

Who is Alicante for?

Alicante attracts buyers looking for a real city with a Costa Blanca climate: young Spanish and European professionals working remotely, international university students (UA and MUH), European retirees who value urban culture and proximity to healthcare, and investors seeking capital appreciation (the +15% increase over the last 3 years is the highest in the province).

International community

~18% of the registered population is foreign (typical of a city).
