Me alegra que descubras los salazones, en Cartagena también son tradición, y también te gustará si la visitas. Y comidos en pequeñas porciones de menor a mayor intensidad acompañados de almendras fritas para limpiar el paladar entre ellos se suelen servir en bares especializados en tener toda la gama, en Valencia Casa Jomi es famosa por servir sus salazones alicantinos de esa manera. En esa zona alicantina cada parada de tram tiene un video o más, no sé si sabías que en los restaurantes para el verano en Jávea, Denia y alrededores se reservan con un año de antelación. Y hacen unos vinos dulces excelentes y unas cocas, "pseudo pizzas" dignas de mencionar. Los dos arroces más típicos de Alicante (zona) son el arroz a banda con all i oli (hecho con morralla que se come a parte (a banda)) pero antes las galeras eran parte de esa morralla, y ahora ya están tan caras, al igual que el pesado de roca, que es raro que lo ofrezcan en restaurantes a la manera tradicional por no ser rentable), y el de conejo y caracoles, del que hay un restaurante en Pinoso que Ferran Adrià recomienda, por si vuelves por la zona como has prometido. La base de los arroces de pescado alicantinos es la salmorreta (sofrito de tomate con pimiento choricero (nyora) y otros ingredientes, sobre la que te recomiendo entrevistes a algún cocinero (cada uno la hace a su manera).

​​@@Jacquiquinn901You can not be wrong in almost any place in Spain, but Alicante is for sure one of the best places you can go to live. Great nightlife, great beaches and nature, great weather almost the whole year, great food like everywhere in the country, you have the sea but also mountain, nice people, plenty of activities to do, etc. And for me something that people don't normally consider but in my opinion it is important: Alicante is not one of the biggest cities of Spain but has one of the most important airports, which makes it easy to have a bigger traveling offers so you don't normally need to go far if you want to take a plane, as you normally would be able to flight from Alicante. 100% recommended.

Finally, the long-awaited (by me) Alicante video! My favourite city in Spain, been going every year for the last 12 years - except during covid. It's got everything: beach, castle, great restaurants, amazing market, nightlife, history (the Spanish Republic ended here). It's definitely the most underrated city in Spain.

Yes, interesting video but exactly my thought: Alicante underrated?! After Malaga and Valencia, it seems the most hyped part of Spain (based on "moving to/retiring to/living in Spain" groups I've joined). Not saying it isn't lovely and, who knows, maybe I'll end up there. But undiscovered or un-hyped, compared to so many other glorious areas? Definitely not.

I'm coming at it from a UK point of view...maybe its different if you live elsewhere...but I think that the only thing we knew about Spain for decades was as a cheap tourist destination based around the Costa del Sol. Even in the 90s and 00s we learnt about Ibiza and Marbella...but only as upscale party destinations. Since the late 00s/early 10s we have started to realise just how amazing Spain is...especially for its food. Where previously we only knew about paella...then some basic tapas...we now know places like San Sebastian represent the highest level of culinary brilliance in Europe, if not the world. One day people will start realising that Spanish Cava is as good as champagne...and much better than prossecco...just as it became obvious how much better iberico bellota is compared to prosciutto!

Palmeras, Alfafara and Alzira in the Albufera Natural Park, the rice mining area around Valencia. Worth a visit.

I wonder if Alicante has really upped its game since my in-laws lived down the coast from there? I don't remember there being a tram to Denia, but we did enjoy the Esplanade, the market and it was very vibrant with the street market in the evenings. The summer we were there was the hottest on record, so we preferred exploring the beaches and mountains rather than the big towns. You certainly did a lovely job of showing off its considerable assets, I think it looks much more sophisticated than I remember it, which is encouraging - I liked it for it's authenticity. If you ever get the chance, you might try somewhere very low key - Chipiona, sticking out into the Atlantic, north of Cadiz - would be fascinated to see how it's fairing. Happy travels, James & John!

My best friend in college in Madrid was from Alicante. They have longaniza de pascua, which is my favorite sausage ever. The downside was that they don’t do tapas. But the nightlife and beach made up for it. When I lived there it was nicknamed “Madrid’s beach” since people from the city had a direct line by train. Their Centro looks a lot like Callao, so it is like a mini Madrid in places.

You really showed Alicante from the best site. Great video. I would have also included the Espanada. It's great too.

First time viewing your channel ! Impressed I’m Polish heritage so I love to hear and see Poland . We have many travel challenges.We have a special need high functioning adult daughter.We are seniors my husband had a very successful kidney transplant. So traveling outside of US would be difficult. We compensate by utube traveling.Which I find very satisfying. Thank you for sharing your adventures ☕️☕️🫶🏻🙋‍♀️🍷

The tram is fantastic, and San Juan beach in winter is the best!

James, if you are in this part of Spain again, pay a visit to Calpe. Its around 45 mins north of Alicante centre by car (1hr from airport), beautiful little town

I got that tram all the way to Benidorm and then when I got there I mentioned it in a bar and they said, do you realise there is a coach you can get all the way direct to the airport. 😄

Alicante also has a first class archaeology museum MARQ not far from the city centre.

This is brilliant! As a Brit Alicante is always thought of as Benidorm! I’ll definitely visit there now 😊

Yeah, so many people understandably only know the towns up the coast. I hope you enjoy Alicante city when you get there :)

Funny that you talk about foods you've never had before, then eat torreznos which I just had for the first time last weekend in Alcala de Heneras. I compare it to chicharrones which I've had many times. Ours was cut thin like bacon, but with that crispy edge.
