Free Walking Tour of Alicante
Free Walking Tour of Alicante
We'll meet at Alicante Town Hall Square at the scheduled time. From there, we'll start a free tour of the historic city.
We'll look at the baroque façade of this beautiful 16th-century building, and then we'll venture into the town hall to explore the building. We'll continue walking along the Explanada de España, one of the busiest streets in the city. Did you know that it was built on a dyke?
The tour will continue to the central square Portal de Elche and the Gabriel Miró square, named after one of the town's illustrious sons. Next, we'll go into San Francisco Street, where curious figures of mushrooms and rayuelas (small rays) are erected.
Our next stop will be in front of the Teatro Principal, a neoclassical building commissioned by two families, two aristocrats, and several merchants in the mid-19th century. We'll also talk about one of Alicante's most important festivities in the Fogueres Museum.
We'll stop at the Salvetti Palace, a luxurious building converted into a hotel, to learn all about its history. From here, we'll visit the Hogueras Museum, a prelude to the co-cathedral of San Nicolás de Bari, built on the site of an ancient mosque, and the convent of the Precious Blood of Christ. We'll visit other places of interest, such as the Ferrisa Gate or the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante.
Having spent 2 hours and 30 minutes exploring the city, our free walking tour of Alicante will come to an end next to the Basilica of Santa Maria.
