The area, inhabited well before the Romans, plays a vital role in the modern Spanish economy. It is a popular tourist region, and Alicante International Airport has excellent links with many European cities.
With 335,000 inhabitants, Alicante is a medium-sized city with a cultural life, a young and dynamic university, and a booming economy. You will also find here centuries-old traditions like the San Juan Festivities or the “Moors and Christians” celebrations, a revival of the “Reconquista” battles.
