Plaza 25 de mayo

Plaza 25 de Mayo is also known as the Plaza de las Flores, its named to the memory of the victims of the Alicante Market bombing on May 25, 1938, during the Spanish Civil War. Previously it was called Plaza del Mercado due to the location of the market right behind the plaza, and before the construction of the Central Market, it was called Plaza de Balmes. It is a place with a lot of life, very crowded and worth visiting in a trip through the capital of Alicante.
