This Is Alicante:
Things to Do & What’s On

Iain and Anabel waiting for a Mascleta to start

We’re Iain and Anabel, based in the heart of Alicante, and we built this site to share what we’ve discovered about living here. If it helps make your visit easier, richer or simply more enjoyable, then it’s doing its job.

We created a self-guided audio tour of Alicante. Click on the tour poster to find out about the tour in English or click HERE for the Spanish version.

Every week we scan local listings, the press and community pages to bring together what’s actually happening in and around Alicante. Click the button above to go to the What’s on page.
