About this tour
This short session covers the Explanada de España, Alicante's signature seafront promenade. You see the wave-patterned marble paving up close and the palm-lined walk beside the marina, with the castle hill in the background. It is a quick, visual introduction to the waterfront.
I start at one end of the promenade and walk its length as the light allows, pointing out the tile pattern and the view back toward the castle. I take questions throughout and send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants a gentle first look at Alicante before a longer walk. It also works well in the evening as a calmer end to the day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Good to know

Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.

How it works

- The session runs on Google Meet, with the link sent after booking. I keep the phone steady as I walk the promenade, so the tile pattern stays clear on screen.
