Visit Alicante

Alicante is found on the Costa Blanca in Spain and is the capital of the province of Alicante and was also a historic Mediterranean port. The population of the city of Alicante is about 350,000 and is the second-largest Valencian city.

Alicante is one of the fastest growing cities in Spain as the local economy is based upon tourism thanks to the beaches all along the Costa Blanca coast as well as an ever increasing number of excellent par 72 golf courses.

Islands and also Algeria and the Alicante The city has regular ferry services to the Balearic airport is close by. The city is very well fortified due to historical invasions of the city and boasts one of the deepest harbours in the world. I remember when the QE2 docked to pick up just 2 passengers and there are always American and British Cruisers in dock.

Among the most spectacular features of the city is the Santa Barbara Castle that is perched high above the city and you shouldn't miss the most important local pagan festival called Las Hogueras and celebrates the first day of Summer which happens to be on Saint Juan´s day and you will enjoy seeing on the hand made artistic figures that will end up being burnt down on Saint Juan´s night.

The nightlife social scene tends to shift to nearby Playa de San Juan and it's happening all year round. In the summer there are loads of street bars that open up their doors till about 4 and are just packed with people. Off season it is really happening in the Alicante Golf commercial centre that is full of buzzing bars.

Alicante Golf - Alicante´s Top Golf Course

The Alicante Golf course is situated in a coastal region of Alicante called La Playa San Juan. Alicante golf is a par 72 golf course, designed by Severiano_Ballesteros. This golf course was part of an Alicante Urbanization project that included housing, schools, shopping centers, hotels, a sports complex and a new fire station is next on the list.


The Alicante Golf course is made up of an area of 535.000 m2. It is 6.270 meters long with 3.125 meters on the front nine and the rest on the back nine. Severiano Ballesteros considered the course to be very attractive with a high degree of variation. There are large tee areas and quite wide fairways, with five large lakes and some archaeological remains which make it quite a testing course to play on.

Alicante Golf is situated just five minutes from the Mediterranean sea and is an ideal golf and beach holiday destination. The golf course was first opened in 1988 and is one of the few courses that can boast of having 6 par 3s, 6 par 4s and 6 par 5s. There are refreshments available as well as a well priced restaurant inside the clubhouse. The full golfing etiquette applies at Alicante Golf so make sure that you aren't wearing jeans or you won't be able to play.

Accommodation for playing at Alicante Golf is varied as you can choose from a whole range of hotels although the closest is the Hesperia hotel which has 5 stars and they will assist you with tee times. You could also choose a luxury rental villa that is situated on the Alicante Golf course. The public transport here is excellent or if you prefer there are also a number of English speaking taxi drivers that are used to doing golf course runs.

If you wish to come and play at Alicante Golf you would need to fly to Alicante_Airport and then it's just a 25 minute drive to the Playa San Juan. The taxi fare should cost about 30 Euro, car hire about 100 Euro a week or if you're brave, the bus and tram could also take you to Alicante Golf for just 2 Euro.

Alicante Golf is the only golf course in the Alicante capital itself although there are several in the area that are of similar dimensions.

Playa San Juan - The Perfect Beach

The Golden sands that stretch from Playa San Juan to El Campello are probably the cleanest and the best kept throughout Europe. The beach town of Playa San Juan has become one of Europe's summertime hot spots with an almost 4 month long summer which turns the town into a Fiesta of activity.


There are two 5 star hotels but each with their own specialty. The Sidi San Juan hotel is situated close to the beach and is in the heart of the town, whereby The Hesperia hotel is located on the Alicante golf course which is about 1 km inland. If 5 star is not strictly you then there is a wide range accommodation to suit everybody´s needs.

There are a whole string of restaurants along the Playa San Juan beach front that will basically serve you a Mediterranean style meal. I would recommend the mixed salad, fish Paella and Sangria and make sure you ask for "Ali Oli", which is a mayonnaise garlic sauce. It is great on bread as well as on the rice Paella. I would say that a meal of this type would cost about €20 a head.

When you have finished your meal you can take a stroll along the promenade that is lined with palm trees. There is no access for cars now, so you can really have a relaxing walk and admire those golden sands and the blue Mediterranean sea without having to avoid cars. One street back is about to be connected to the tram line, so you could get over to Alicante Golf in no time, which will also be on the line shortly.
