Excursions to places of interest in Alicante

Altea, Torrevieja, Calpe… There is a multitude of places worth visiting in the province of Alicante if you are going to spend a few days with us. The Hotel Almirante team suggests the best options to have the best time as a couple, family or, and why not?, on your own.
Places of interest in Alicante
Alicante is a province rich in cultural and natural heritage. There are a large number of towns worth visiting all along the coast to appreciate the combination of Mediterranean architecture and maritime nature. Without doubt, this great mixture makes some places of interest in Alicante essential for, at least, an excursion.
The Hotel Almirante team encourages you to make the most of your stay with us and visit the province’s different places of interest. Altea, Calpe or Agres are places we should not miss out on if we are in Alicante. Also, take a minute to browse through our highlighted places of interest, you could, without doubt, enhance your stay with a visit to any of them.

Altea

Altea is the first of Alicante’s places of interest that we would like to draw your attention to. A town situated in the Marina Baja district of Alicante, it is famous for its large number of monuments which, if you are going to be spending the day there, are a must-see.
Among them, the Hotel Almirante team highlights some, such as the Fornet or the old town. This is the oldest part of Altea and full of narrow streets that are full of charm. The Paseo Marítimo (Seafront Promenade) is a place you should not miss to enjoy Altea’s sea breeze and enjoy a drink on one of its terraces.

Calpe

Continuing with towns on the Alicante coast, Calpe is another unmissable place of interest. With its famous Peñón de Ifach (Rock of Ifach), it is the perfect place for a day’s hiking up the most famous rocky massif on our coast.
The climb up the Rock of Ifach is totally prepared for walkers, although there are some stretches that are more complicated than others. The climb is hard but the views from the top are well worth the effort expended.

Agres

If we leave the coast and go inland into the interior of Alicante, beside the Sierra de Mariola (Mariola Mountain Range), we find the town of Agres. Surrounded by steep slopes, it is the departure point for a multitude of hiking trails through the mountains, a visit to the snow caves along the Ruta de les Caves (Route of the Caves) being highly recommended.

If you prefer something more peaceful, you can find the unique scenery at the Santuario de la Virgen del Castillo (Sanctuary of the Virgin of the Castle) in the highest part of Agres. A natural setting surrounded by vegetation and stony paths that is a delight for photography lovers.

Alicante has a large number of places of interest that are worth a day out. Discover what we suggest and, if you find any others, do not hesitate to tell us about them.

Dog friendly and great location Dog friendly which is hard to find in this area. We have a largish Labrador. Normally they allow small to medium sized dogs but when we called them they said he would be allowed to stay. He was given a nice bag of treats too on arrival. Spacious, clean rooms with balcony. Lovely pool, large restaurant with great food and hotel located next to huge sandy beach and coastal tram. Private parking. Very friendly staff. A great find while travelling in the busy summer period. Everything to hand without having to face the crowds. Thoroughly recommend.

Super Hotel. I was in this hotel for the second time, it made an even better impression on us. Convenient location, a few steps to the beautiful beach, 20 minutes to the center of Alicante by train. At the hotel there is a swimming pool with sun loungers, umbrellas and a place for children. Varied breakfasts, delicious. The best is the staff of the hotel, professional, helpful, kind and smiling. I am already planning another stay in July. Andrew

Great holiday to recommend. Rooms are large and clean, large balcony with a great sea view. The pool area invites you to swim and relax. The clean sandy beach can be reached in 2 minutes. Transport connections to the center/airport can be easily reached by tram and bus

Relaxing break in the sun Almirante hotel is a peaceful hotel in a great location right beside the beautiful San Juan beach and tramline. The pool is a lovely area for relaxing around on loungers. The rooms have everything you need for a holiday and are comfortable. I had a premium room with coffee tea making facilities and a small fridge which is ideal. I didn’t have breakfast in the restaurant which suited me fine as I prefer to get up and out early. The terrace was just perfect too, so all in all a hotel which provided everything I needed for a break away in the sunshine.

Great hotel, clean and quiet Lovely hotel and very clean. We had a corner room so had amazing views of both the pool and the beach. Both the room and the bathroom were a really good size with plenty of storage. This hotel is located in a quiet part of Alicante which suited us during the day. There is a limited bar service by the pool. We would have preferred it if the pool opened at 10am or a bit earlier - 10:30 am seemed quite late. There was a good selection for breakfast. We did eat in the hotel restaurant one evening. The food was tasty but the menu was quite limited and it was more expensive than other restaurants in the centre of Alicante. The mojitos were excellent! We went at the end of May which doesn't seem to be high season, as the restaurants near the hotel / beach weren't open in the evening. It was easy enough to get a tram to the main part of the town, with the tram station only five minutes walk from the hotel and the journey taking less than 15 minutes; this was also cheap. We got taxis back later which cost about 15 euros. Taxis to / from the airport took about 25 minutes and cost about 40 euros. We would definitely go back.
