European cities are increasingly becoming more accessible; accommodating the needs of persons with disabilities, making them ideal tourist destinations. Spanish cities are also following along the footsteps of their counterparts with enormous efforts being made by eliminating barriers, providing access to cultural and natural resources, creating and maintaining high standards for transport, building and urban planning.

Spain is a popular European destination for summer holidays with the country taking enormous efforts to adapt to the needs of persons with disabilities, including accessibility features to cultural and natural resources as well as in urban design and planning. In major cities all across Spain, accessible transportation, accommodation and specialized services that help people with disabilities get around the country have been set up. Alicante is no different; there are several accessible beaches in Alicante including Playa del Postiguet, Playa De La Mata and Playa del Poniente.

Alicante was once synonymous with wines, popular with royalty; today they are served at local tapas bars and are the everyman’s drink. However, in the last few years, Alicante wines are expressing a renaissance. Head down a Ruta Del Vino (Wine Route) and explore a beautiful countryside surrounded by fruit trees as you sip at some of the best wines the region has to offer.

Alicante does not disappoint in terms of being a popular port destination because of its lovely geographical location. The warm weather and the scenic beaches call on every traveller’s soul and this Spanish city is a must-visit spot not only for its sightseeing views but for the decadent seafood cuisine that is caught and freshly cooked to cater to a foodie’s dream!
