Why travel by plane to Alicante?

There's no better way for travelers from the USA to reach Spain's southern coast than regional flights, and there are a number of reasons why. Most importantly, Spain's aviation infrastructure is excellent, so visitors can transfer seamlessly from aviation centers like Madrid to Alicante Elche, before heading to their destination.

Before you travel to Alicante by plane - good to know!

If travelers intend to stay on the Costa Blanca, it makes sense to either organize car rental at the airport or take airport shuttle buses. Check with accommodation providers before flying, as transfers could be available. However, it's much more enjoyable to see Alicante first. The city is full of appealing attractions, from the formidable castle to the Archaeological Museum, which documents 5,000 years of habitation. Slightly further afield, the tiny island of Tabarca is a hidden gem, with gorgeous beaches and swimming spots. And if visitors are feeling active, an ascent of Mount Benacantil is a must. There's no better vantage point for vacation snaps.
