Routes
Where we stop, in order of the day.
Every tour starts from the same few places, then bends toward the castles, the old town or the coast depending on the time you have.
- 01Explanada de EspañaThe palm-lined promenade and the start of most tours.
- 02El BarrioThe old town, its churches and narrow streets.
- 03Santa Bárbara CastleThe hilltop view over the city and the bay.
- 04Postiguet beachThe coast, a stop for photos and a breath of sea air.
- 05San Fernando CastleThe second fortress, on the way back into the centre.
Stories
Told from the back seat, not a guidebook.
Two fortresses, one city
How Santa Bárbara and San Fernando watched over Alicante, and why both still matter.
Where Alicante actually eats
The small squares and corners that guidebooks skip, and why Marc goes back to them.
Marc
Six years in Alicante. Four languages.
I moved to Alicante from the Netherlands and never left. I speak Spanish, English, Dutch and German, and I drive the tuk-tuk myself.
Sometimes I ride an e-bike through the narrow streets, which is how I found half the stops on these routes. Private tours mean the pace is yours: more time at the castle, a longer story, or a detour to a corner you would never find alone.
Payment is on the day, in cash or by card. Book on WhatsApp and I will reply personally.
