All over the world, there are countless "Paradise" places and "Edenic" beaches. I am often asked where I've been, what I liked, how the weather was, and how much it costs. Of course, Turkey and Egypt are budget vacation destinations only within the hotel premises. If you want to greet an incredibly cosmic sunrise every morning at 8 o'clock, feel the temperament of the fiery Carmelites or Marie de Lopez brewing you the most aromatic "cortado" coffee, then it's only Alicante! This beautiful city in the south of the Valencian community combines modern architectural design with a Moorish way of life. This city stands at the crossroads of eras. Here, there is the futurism of design and sculptures of running bulls on the main street, modern yachts dock in the port, and right there in the roadstead stands a galleon from the time of Christopher Columbus. On the street, you can see a "Tesla," and next to it, a 1965 "Mustang" might be driving by. And the "Santa Barbara" fortress is a masterpiece of architecture and a powerful fortification to protect the city from ill-wishers. But I would like to focus more on the place that attracts tourists from all over the world — the beaches of Alicante. There are a total of 7, all located in a continuous coastline, so their names only create a conditionally dividing boundary.
Postiguet (Playa del Postiguet) is the most popular beach among both tourists and locals. This beach is located at the foot of Mount Benacantil, on top of which is the "Santa Barbara" fortress — a symbol of the city. The beach is in close proximity to the city center, making it very convenient for walking. The daily norm of 3,500 steps is easily exceeded here, and these will be interesting and informative walks. The beach has a blue flag of absolute cleanliness; every morning, municipal workers clean and rake the sand. The beach is so flat that the need for sun loungers disappears by itself. It's enough to lay a towel on the sand and enjoy the rays of the southern sun. There are practically never any waves here. The sea is calm and especially suitable for holidays with "little ones." Many of them take their first strokes in the salty sea water here as a sign of friendship with nature.
San Juan (Playa de San Juan) is a beach more suited for active tourists. Surfing, scooters, water skiing, beach volleyball, and football, and everything else your heart desires. There are also golf courses in close proximity.
Albufereta (Playa de la Albufereta) is a beach in the northwest of the city. White sand, perfect cleanliness, a large number of playgrounds, no waves, as the beach is located in a closed bay, very shallow and long entry into the sea — all this creates ideal conditions for a holiday with children.
Almadraba (Playa de la Almadraba) is a small, calm sandy-pebble beach, more suitable for solitude. This very pleasant little bay attracts professionals and photography enthusiasts. In the evening, fantastic views of the sunset open up here. The horizon becomes bright red with a huge number of yellow speckles and streaks. It's impossible to convey in words; you have to see it!
Saladar-Urbanova (Playa del Saladar-Urbanova) is a beach in close proximity to the airport. If you are already tired of solitude, peace, and quiet. If you want adrenaline in your blood, and sleep in complete silence already causes an allergy, then this is the place for you. This beach is filled with all modern sounds and movements. It's a combination of the incompatible, a kind of fusion of beach holidays. Music of all styles and directions, cuisine in bars for every taste. Drinks from classics to mind-blowing cocktails with absinthe. Night beach discos until sunrise. Everything here is boiling and living by its own laws of time. And time here has its own boundaries, as if there are no laws of physics, but there are laws of desires and their fulfillment! Minutes, hours, and days do not matter; there is only one dimension — from the moment a desire arises to its fulfillment. Isn't this the life you wanted and desired?
Cabo de la Huerta (Calas del Cabo de la Huerta) is a beach for those who love to swim with a mask and snorkel, to dive into the marine world, which holds a huge number of secrets and surprises. The marine fauna is filled with all the colors of the rainbow; no diver will remain indifferent. It's better to have a camera or underwater camera with you to enjoy the shots taken underwater with friends and acquaintances.
