Alicante is a port city on the Costa Blanca, in southeastern Spain. It is the capital of the province of the same name. Its old town, the Barrio de la Santa Cruz, is made up of narrow streets, colourful houses and nightlife venues that you can visit during your internship. If you are wondering what to do in Alicante in your free time, don’t panic, here are some ideas that will help you not to get bored.

Just below the castle of Santa Barbara, at the foot of the Benacantil mountain, the city of Alicante has a beautiful promenade, the Explanada de Espana. Located in front of the marina, this specially equipped place is a must-see whether you come as a family or as a couple. The boats which come to dock in the port offer a wonderful spectacle by day and by night.
