The Alicante City Guides deal with the things every visitor wonders about: where to eat a proper rice dish instead of a reheated seafront paella, how to climb to Santa Bárbara castle without paying for the lift, which museums are free and which tram stop leads to a quiet beach. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, telling you why a place earns its spot, what to order or look for and one tip worth knowing, and it opens in your browser the moment the payment goes through.

Three places from the guides
Restaurante La Mar de Arroz
Fishing port, Dársena Pesquera
A rice house beside the working boats, well away from the tourist strip. Each pan is started when you order, so allow half an hour and come at lunchtime, when it is usually open. From the food guide.
Ermita de la Santa Cruz
Top of the Santa Cruz quarter
A little white chapel crowning the old fishermen’s quarter, reached by narrow lanes lined with flowerpots. From its terrace you look over the rooftops to the sea. From the things to do guide.
Huerto del Cura
Elche, train about 25 minutes
The prettiest corner of Elche’s UNESCO palm grove: a compact garden of palms, cacti and ponds where peacocks stroll the paths. An hour is plenty. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Alicante
Day one: walk up to Santa Bárbara castle in the morning, come down through the whitewashed Santa Cruz quarter, eat rice at lunch and build the evening from vermut to tapas in the old town. Day two: ride the tram north to the beaches of El Campello or the painted houses of Villajoyosa, or take the train to the palms of Elche. For a rainy or slow day, line up the free museums, the archaeological museum and the Mercado Central, then an evening of live music.
