Property in Alicante

Alicante is the capital of the province of the same name and one of the most important cities on the Costa Blanca coast. The city combines the function of a large, lively urban center with proximity to the sea – the Mediterranean promenade Explanada de España, the Playa del Postiguet beach and the Santa Bárbara castle rising above the city give it a character that is hard to find in the smaller coastal towns of the region. This is a place where life goes on all year round, not only during the summer season. Living in Alicante means access to developed infrastructure – hospitals, schools, an airport, a port and a transport network connecting the city with other points on the coast and with the interior of the country. The old town, El Barrio, with its narrow streets and buildings in vivid colors, neighbors newer districts and business zones, which gives a diversity of lifestyles within the boundaries of a single city. There is room here both for quieter residential neighborhoods and for a lively city center with restaurants, shops and culture. By buying a property in Alicante, one chooses city life with the sea within arm's reach – the possibility of enjoying the beaches and the port while retaining all the amenities of a large city. This is an option for those who seek a balance between the Mediterranean climate and pace of life and the practicality of everyday functioning in a developed urban center, with access to both resale properties in the historic parts of the city and new developments in expanding districts.
