Alicante, situated on a bay between two capes on the east coast of Spain, is the centre of the popular Costa Blanca holiday resort region. The city has a distinct African flavour with women clad in Kaftans and hawkers selling African carvings along the waterfront and esplanades. Alicante’s historical central district, though, is filled with Baroque buildings, bearing testimony to the city’s past when it was a major seaport. The main thoroughfare of the city is the Rambla, lined with palm trees, outdoor cafes and ice-cream parlours serving the unusual local drink, horchata, made with almonds.
