Cave network with guided tours. They house in its interior one of the highest vaults of all the caves in Spain, with 70 meters of height. The Canelobre Caves are one of the main tourist attractions in the province of Alicante. They are located 700 meters above sea level, on the northern slopes of the Cabeçó D'Or mountain range.
The "Cabo de las Huertas" is named after the "huertas alicantinas" (orchard / vegetable garden), which, along with the port, was the great economic engine of the city. It is located between Albufereta beach and San Juan beach. It is not a sandy beach, it is rocky and has beautiful crystalline waters. It is not crowded like the great beaches of Alicante, which has made it a good location for nudist beaches. Some of its most famous coves are "Palmeras", "Cantalares" and "Judíos".
The Lo Morant Park is an urban park located in the northern area of the city of Alicante. Ideal for walking and playing sports. Its landscape area is an example of the Mediterranean flora. This green zone is located between the Virgen del Remedio and Virgen del Carmen neighborhoods, in the grid delimited by Lugo, Pablo Neruda, Vicente Aleixandre and Pedro Salinas streets. Its areas and recreational-cultural facilities of direct attention by municipal personnel, allow to practice, among others, the following activities: croquet, petanque, bowling, board games, etc. It also has playgrounds for children, swings, slides, etc.
Also known as the Sierra de San Julián, the Serra Grossa is located in the city of Alicante, facing the Mediterranean Sea. Its 161 meters of height offers stunning views of Alicante's coast, being a relatively easy climb. On clear days, you can see the Island of Tabarca, Benidorm and Santa Pola, as well as the Castle of Santa Bárbara and the city of Alicante. You can walk it in about two and a half hours (5.2 km), visiting the different viewpoints, rock shelters and pine forests, in addition to the views of the Mediterranean. It is a very good route to do as a family and take spectacular photos. It also hosts "Trail" events, such as 10 km. of the Serra Grossa Trail, so it is a good place to practice this sport.
To the park of La Ereta you have to go without haste, wanting to fill the eyes of Alicante and cultivate the senses. Located on the slopes of Mount Benacantil, from it we contemplate some of the most spectacular views of Alicante. Only surpassed by the views that, a few meters above, dominate from the Castle of Santa Barbara. It is a modern park whose construction has taken into account environmental aspects and symbiosis of the built with the environment, has native vegetation and a pleasant organic urban furniture. We recommend that you feel and enjoy the sound of the fountains while you contemplate the magnificent views that this park gives you. La Ereta looks towards the genuine Barrio de Santa Cruz. From the park, which occupies almost seven hectares, you can contemplate the Cathedral of San Nicolás, the Port, almost touch the 'Cara del Moro', the famous icon of Alicante, and admire in all its splendor the Mediterranean Sea. Being next to the Old Town has the great attraction of allowing to walk around the wall of the Castle, which is restored, in an impressive walk where we have Alicante and the Mediterranean at the foot. Of recent construction is the House of Santa Claus, the home that the endearing Christmas character has in Alicante. In the months close to Christmas the house opens for the children to make their wishes come to Santa Claus himself, who receives them and sits on his knees to know if they have been good. And at the same time, children can throw their cards in the well of wishes. In 1994 works began to build on this steep terrain a public park that allowed to enjoy the privileged views and also was a center of leisure and culture. Due to the orography, the park is segmented into terraces, adapting to the terrain and decorated with native flora. The park of La Ereta has a large central square, paths that meander along the hillside, shady areas, fountains, a cafeteria, an entertainment area that, as anecdote we tell you, has underground dressing rooms, a panoramic restaurant, and an exhibition hall. Due to the peculiar morphology of La Ereta, its construction was a challenge that managed to become an interesting architectural work. The lower part of the park is in direct contact with the Historical Quarter and therefore the character of the places and the vegetation is more urban. Continuing up to the Castle, the visitor goes through different spaces such as the hillside of the olive trees, the Plaza de la Ereta and the pines, and then the vegetation of local holm oak and the dispersed grasses in the highest part. In the park, retaining walls and ditches have been built for the waters that go down the mountain, with drainages capable of absorbing the torrential rains for such a steep place. The main elements of La Ereta are closely linked to important uses, in this way, the boundary is a path that borders the lower part and ensures the collection of rainwater; the terraces of the hillside of the olive trees stabilize the soil, limit erosion, and act like a huge sponge when it rains intensely. Simultaneously, the land becomes a retaining wall and finally, the buildings form a body with Mount Benacantil and its new structure.
Los Almendros concentration camp (also known as Los Almendros detention camp or simply Campo de Los Almendros), was a concentration camp for military and civilians at the end of the Spanish Civil War created by the rebellious two days before (30 March 1939) of the end of the war. It was located in the municipal area of Alicante, Spain, about three kilometers from the urban area, in the area known as La Goteta, on the way to Vistahermosa, on the side of the Valencia highway (now Avenida de Denia).
