About Alicante
Alicante is a city and port in Spain on the Costa Blanca, the capital of the province of Alicante and of the comarca of Alacantí, in the south of the Valencian Community. It is also a historic Mediterranean port. It's the second-largest Valencian city.The city is one most important tourist destinations in the Spanish east coast. The many golf courses, along with the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea, are part of the appeal of this beautiful harbour city, which sits at the foot of the Castle of Santa Barbara, a silent witness to the numerous civilisations to have settled here. The historic quarter, at the foot of this fortress, conceals an interesting religious and civil architectural legacy, including the emblematic Explanada de España (Spain boulevard), a traditional recreational area to the local residents. Alicante is also a land of deeply-rooted traditions, such as the Moors and Christians festivities and the Night of San Juan. When it comes to Alicante's delicious cuisine, rice takes the central stage, cooked in a million different ways.

Solar eclipse sunset cruise
Sunset, sea breeze and a solar eclipse await on this evening catamaran tour aboard the Mundo Marino. You'll head out from Denia along a stretch of the Costa Blanca coastline as the sky turns golden, perfectly timed for the eclipse's peak moment. Certified glasses are included, too, so you can watch it all unfold safely from the deck. Surrounded by pine-lined cliffs, rocky coves and wide-open sea views, it's a super cool way to experience this rare celestial event.
