If you're thinking of booking a cheap hotel break in Spain but want to experience more than sun, sea and sand, a holiday in Alicante could help you discover some Spanish history. Situated on the Costa Blanca, the city is a well-known hotspot for tourists looking to enjoy the warm weather and sandy beaches, but Alicante has more to offer if you choose to venture further afield than the beach. Firstly, you'll need to find the best hotel to suit your needs. If you're looking for somewhere close to the city centre as well as transport links, you might consider the Amerigo Alicante. This top-class hotel is near to the main restaurants, bars and clubs, as well as not being too far from the beach. And just 50 metres away you'll find transport links, perfect for hopping on a bus and exploring the wider area. During your time in the hotel you can relax in comfort with your own en suite bathroom and useful facilities such as internet access in your room. And after you've exhausted the city's attractions, you can return to the hotel and make use of the whirlpool and spa, or even enjoy a relaxing massage. For an interesting excursion that allows you to delve into Alicante's past, make sure you pay a visit to the fortress at Santa Barbara. The castle is one of Europe's biggest and perches atop Benacantil Mountain, overlooking the city. Erected in the tenth century, the castle was originally established by the Moors and has been extended over the eras that followed. The attraction is free to visit and you can explore the lookout tower, church ruins and dungeons, or take a walk through the nearby pine wood and parkland if you feel like stretching your legs in the beautiful scenery. Take a mountain path back towards the city and make your way back to your comfortable hotel for a peaceful night before setting out exploring again the following day.
