Serviced Apartments in Alicante

Found in the south-west of Spain, Alicante is a busy seaside beach resort with a permanent population of almost 350,000 people. This population is of course bolstered by a very large number of tourists who visit the city to enjoy the beaches and nightlife and also the history and landmarks of the city. For this reason, holiday lettings in Alicante are very popular all year round, but of course become even more sought-after during the summer months.

With a huge tourism industry, Alicante is actually one of the fastest growing cities in Spain. The city is at the heart of the Costa Blanca or “White Coast”, a 200 km long stretch of beautiful white sands and warm seas which are ideal for beach breaks. Another huge boost to the local economy is the construction of many homes to be used as second residences, particularly by the British. Many of these homes are also available as serviced apartments in Alicante, providing the kind of comfort and amenities you'd hope to find during your stay.

The main beach of the city itself is called the Playa del Postiguet and is overlooked by the most impressive landmark of the city, the Castle of Santa Barbara. During the summer months, this beach becomes very busy as the Paseo del Puerto promenade becomes the home of a two-month long festival of music, dance and theatre, as well as the usual sunbathers and swimmers. There are a number of Alicante apartment rentals overlooking this beach giving fantastic access to it, and the city as a whole.

The castle itself is a pre-12th century fortification built on top of Mount Benacantil, a rocky hill overlooking much of the city. The castle has protected the city for many centuries with varying degrees of success having changed hands on numerous occasions. It is now available to members of the public to visit, with elevators even being installed inside the mountain to spare those tired legs. If you book a short stay apartment in Alicante, not only will you not be able to miss the fortress, but you should certainly make a visit to it.

Another popular reason for booking any serviced residence in Alicante is the weather. The average temperature for the year is almost 18°C, with typical summer temperatures reaching about 30°C. If you are looking for a definite tan, make sure you stay in the city during the months of June through September for the best of the sun.
