Mindful meoweler tips

Alicante is famous for its red soil

The soil is the reason for the city's name -- 'alicant' came from an Arabic word meaning 'red soil.'

The Castillo de Santa Barbara is a must-visit

This fortress sits atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the city and Mediterranean Sea.

Alicante is a rice-centric region

Authentic paella and arroz a banda are among the dishes to try here. Don't miss out!
