What's on in Alicante |
Lying on the east coast of Spain, Alicante has it all: parties, disco's, festivals, castles - and if that isn't enough - hot sun, white sandy beaches, and a turquoise sea. It's best to start exploring Alicante on the beachfront along the city's main pedestrian walkway, the Explanada de Espana. Spread out in front of the main part of the city, this elegant boulevard, stretching around the harbour, is shaded with palm trees and lined with shops and Cafes.
Stroll along the palm-fringed Paseo de la Explanada - the impressive seafront promenade lined with street cafes and inlaid with red, cream and black marble. Stop at the music pavillion and enjoy a free fresco concert by the sea. Concerts are held in the afternoons, on feast days and on Sunday mornings during the summer months.

With more theatres, museums and galleries than any other UK city outside London, Liverpool’s history as one of the world’s great ports has left a remarkable legacy of art and architecture that gives it a distinctive look and unique atmosphere.
Liverpool is also one of the world’s great sporting cities with horse racing at Aintree and Haydock, 40 golf courses – seven of which are Championship standard, including the Royals Birkdale and Lytham, not to mention Liverpool and Everton FC.
