What to expect
Your guide will walk you through central Alicante at a steady pace, stopping at significant buildings and public spaces to explain their role in the city's story. You'll duck into artisan zones where craftspeople still work, getting a sense of how the economy functions beyond the seafront. The sangria tasting happens mid-tour, usually in a modest local spot rather than a polished bar. Expect three and a half hours of continuous walking with brief pauses for talking and tasting. The route stays mostly flat through the centre, but comfortable shoes and water are essential.
Good to know
You'll need moderate fitness for the full duration and distance covered. The Castillo de Santa Barbara fortress isn't included, though your guide can point it out. Public transport stations are nearby if you need to adjust your route. Gratuities are separate from the tour price.
