Nice stop off point when walking around the Harbour looking at the fantastic boats. Plenty of bars and restaurants to visit where you can stop off and get a refreshing drink or two.

Set on quite a large roundabout, this central landmark boasts cooling fountains and – if you're not too sure of your directions in Alicante - is a great way to remember where you started. Its underground tram station is accessible via escalators (or a lift), and there are numerous shops, cafés and banks nearby. Head south, i.e. downhill, for the El Corte Ingles department store and the city beach.
