The best shopping in Alicante isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Castillo de Santa Barbara and Explanada de Espana are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Playa del Postiguet — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
A sun-drenched Mediterranean port city on the Costa Blanca, crowned by a hilltop Moorish castle and lined with palm-shaded promenades.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided shopping tour route in Alicante. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Castillo de Santa Barbara — a hilltop fortress dating to the 9th century with panoramic Mediterranean views, Explanada de Espana — a waterfront promenade paved with millions of marble tiles in a wave pattern, Barrio de la Santa Cruz — the whitewashed old quarter climbing Mount Benacantil, plus hidden gems like Playa del Postiguet — a city beach directly beneath the castle, popular with locals and Tabarca Island — a small island 20 km offshore with a walled old town and marine reserve, reached by ferry.
Use this page as a starting point for a Alicante walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Alicante. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Alicante for coastal walks and history, but every walking route ends up passing through Castillo de Santa Barbara and Explanada de Espana and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Playa del Postiguet — it reflects what the people of Alicante actually buy, make, and value.
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.
March through November. Alicante averages over 300 sunny days per year. July and August are very hot.
