Alicante's biggest food fair returns to IFA – Fira Alacant from 2 to 5 October. The city council stand alone has 40 free activities built around rice, cocas and this year's prize-winning croqueta and bravas. This guide covers the wristband, the dated tastings and where to eat the winners back in town.

Alicante isn’t a city for errands—it’s for slow coffees on the Explanada, quick trams to San Juan, and lunches that melt into sunset. The only real challenge? Staying connected. Airport Wi-Fi cuts out, roaming costs a fortune, and SIM card queues test anyone’s patience.

Alicante is a popular tourist destination known for its stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife and rich cultural heritage. But perhaps one of the most appealing aspects of this Mediterranean gem is its countless Instagram-worthy spots that are sure to make your feed stand out.

If you’re planning a trip to Alicante or simply want to discover the city’s vibrant food and drink scene, we’re here to help! Alicante is not just about stunning beaches and historic charm - it’s also a paradise for wine lovers and tapas enthusiasts.
