Even the most urban corners of Alicante hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Castillo de Santa Barbara and Explanada de Espana offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Playa del Postiguet for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.

Alicante is known for coastal walks and history, but between the busy streets, spaces like Castillo de Santa Barbara and Explanada de Espana provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Playa del Postiguet provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Take the elevator through the rock from the Postiguet beach up to the castle. Then walk down through the Barrio de la Santa Cruz to the Explanada.
