We took a short family trip to Alicante in early April, seeking a bit of sun. It was a simple, kid-friendly getaway filled with delicious food, great coffee, and plenty of beach time—my son’s absolute favorite!

Alicante is truly beautiful. We explored the charming Old Town (Santa Cruz Quarter), strolled along the Passeig Esplanada d'Espanya, wandered through the vibrant Mercat Central d'Alacant, and took in the views from Castell de Santa Bàrbara. Of course, we also spent time at Playa del Postiguet and Playa de San Juan, soaking up the coastal beauty.
