Cartagena has a lively city center with numerous cultural attractions. Those who love archeology can indulge in the Roman Museum with the splendid amphitheater. In the Calle Mayor you can admire the impressive façades of ‘the Casino’, ‘Cervantes’, ‘Gran Hotel’ and the ‘Palacio Consistorial-Town Hall’. The harbor invites for a terrace.
During your stay on the Costa Blanca, you can also visit the mountainous interior. The medieval village and the former fortress of Guadalest are built on a steep rock. Especially the bell tower on the top of the rock is a beautiful picture! But perhaps even more beautiful is the view of the emerald-green reservoir and the Guadalest valley.
Casco Antiguo is the historical part of the city of Alicante and lies between the Rambla Méndez Núñez, the mountain Monte Benacantil and the beach. Sights include the Basilica Santa Bárbara, Palacio Maisonnave, the Teatro Principal, Plaza Ayuntamiento and the Mercado Central. During a walk you will be surprised by the beauty of small squares, narrow streets and authentic buildings.
