The afternoon is free to explore at leisure — perhaps a stroll along the Explanada de España, Alicante’s iconic palm-lined promenade, or a visit to nearby artisan shops and vibrant markets. There’s also time for photos, coffee, or simply enjoying the rhythm of city life by the sparkling waterfront.
