About this tour
A two-hour walking tour of Alicante that balances medieval backstreets with contemporary street life. You'll navigate the old town's narrow lanes, cross the grand Explanada de España, and spot landmarks like San Nicolás de Bari Concathedral whilst picking up tips from locals about where they actually eat and drink. The itinerary flexes to suit your pace and interests, and the group stays small—just you and whoever you bring.

What to expect
Expect to walk at a leisurely pace through compact streets where shade from buildings offers relief from sun. You'll pause at squares where locals congregate, watch traders at a neighbourhood market, and stand on the Explanada to take in the seafront. The guide steers towards lesser-known corners rather than grinding through tourist checkboxes. Two hours is tight for depth, so you'll pick highlights that genuinely interest you—whether that's modernist shopfronts, baroque doorways, or a specific neighbourhood's story.
