Alicante City Neighborhoods

February 17, 2019

The main difference in neighborhoods in Alicante is that those in the city are not enclosed but open to all. You still have to have a key to enter a residential building but there is no fence around it. The apartment buildings in the center are usually less than 15 stories tall with only a couple of exceptions. You very rarely see a single family home. Below are photos from a walk around the city.

One awesome thing here is that public services are great. They clean the streets frequently and there are trash containers everywhere. It makes life so much nicer. And there are frequent buses and a tram to make travel easier as many people do not have a car (me).

Another concept I enjoy are the various miradors or plazas where you can sit and enjoy the view or the people.

These are a few aspects of life in Alicante.

    Marty, is it noisy living in the city? Your pictures make it look almost deserted but I’m sure it’s not! It’s a beautiful city.

    • Peggy, it is not noisier than Boston and it is definitely not deserted. Some of those pictures were on Sunday morning which is very quiet. I live in the center and while there is car traffic it is slow moving -because of the narrow streets and not that loud. What IS loud are the people on Friday and Saturday nights – out partying until 4am!
