Alicante in Spanish or Alacant (in Valencian) is a province of eastern Spain, in the southern part of the Valencian Community. It is bordered by the provinces of Murcia on the southwest, Albacete on the west, Valencia on the north, and the Mediterranean Sea on the east. The province is named after its capital, the city of Alicante.
Alicante is one of the most surprising provinces in Spain. It is the 4th largest in terms of GDP after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia. It is also a booming province, partly due to the surge in tourist activity over recent years, especially along the coastal areas which have the best climatic conditions in the whole of Spain. Modernity runs alongside tradition and you can still find very traditional villages tucked away in the mountains.
You can also find some of the best gastronomy in Spain here. The contrasts are immense. You can find British, German and Nordic residents along the coast not to mention the areas of mass tourism such as Benidorm, Torrevieja etc. Alicante city itself deserves more than just a short visit.
