In Benacantil mountain, we will see Santa Barbara Castle. This spectacular building is 166m above sea level, with the great strategic value used to control Alicante's bay.
Visiting the old city center, we will discover the typical Mediterranean neighbourhood: peaceful, colourful, and full of life. In this walking tour, we will find the co-cathedral, built on a mosque's remains, in Herrerian Renaissance style. The town hall administrative building in baroque style was built during the XVIII century, the Carbonell House: a residential palace from 1924, in modernist style. Finishing with the Esplanade: a pedestrian street, right next to the seaside made with more than 6 million and a half ceramic pieces.
Drive to San Juan beach, where we will find the Santa Faz Monastery. Inside this monastery, we can admire a relic brought from the Vatican in the XV century. According to a popular tradition, this was the cloth using which Veronica wiped the face of Jesus; it is also called Veronica's Veil.
