Hi all,

I'm heading to Alicante next week with a bunch of friends and it's my first time in Spain. Just wondering if anyone had any pointers? Is there any food I should definitely try? Or beaches, clubs, historical sites that are a must?
I'm very excited about this trip but totally clueless, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million,

Clare

I'm studying abroad in Spain this fall but am having a hard time between Alicante and Barcelona. At first I was set on going to Alicante, but that's hard to justify when Barcelona would make a better home base for trips into Europe. What else should I be looking at in making my decision? What does Alicante have that Barcelona doesn't?

I am looking for somewhere in Alicante that stocks Maria Coca clothing. I'm going there soon and would like ot know where is the best place to shop (or Murcia).
If anyone knows can you email me at bryanthelen6@aol.com
Thanks

Help!! Does anyone know of a hostal that's centrally located in the city for this weekend (9/10/11 of Feb)? The only one I've seen with recommendations is booked up and because my elderly mum is with me it can't be too basic. I would prefer not to pay more than 35 euros a night.
Many thanks

Hi I'm planning to spend a long weekend in Alicante, mainly to relax and EAT. I love paella but in other parts of Spain I've been to restaurants often require a min. of 2 for paella. Does anyone know any restaurant in Alicante that serves paella for one?

We plan to spend one week in and around Alicante in March 2008. What we have enjoyed a lot recently is to stay in small apartments rather than in B&B or hotels. I have done some browsing, but it seems to be difficult to find apartments in the center (preferably the old center) of Alicante (rather than in the environments).

Does anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Is this still on in summer 2007? Please let me know where I can go to a salsa club in Alicante 19 -26 August. Thanks Danuta

Hi there,
Im moving to Alicante in a month. I would really like to find out if there is any LA-Style salsa clubs of classes in the city. I've been learning this style for awhile and i would like to stick with it rather than changing.

Any information would be really apreciated

I have a couple of friends who would like to get married in Alicante next June. Can you suggest any beautiful locations, particularly overlooking the sea? They would prefer to do the wedding spontaneously and not have to reserve the location. Thankyou!!!
