The ALICANTE we never saw in 3 years of living here

Three years living in Spain and we'd walked past this corner many times. Our honest Alicante walking tour finds the streets behind the Central Market, the old town we never walked, and a Costa Blanca side we never knew was there. We've spent 3 years here and still have things to discover — here's what a walk-and-talk afternoon revealed, and everywhere we visited was FREE! 🎥 THE ALICANTE WE NEVER SAW IN 3 YEARS OF LIVING HERE This is the honest reality of living in Spain, not a polished tourist guide. 📍 PIN DROPS OF THE PLACES WE VISITED ARE UP ON THE MAP! 📍Chimeneas de Benalúa https://maps.app.goo.gl/WCf8uB3dAf1aR... 📍Monumento a Canalejas https://maps.app.goo.gl/zzy84RE6L3B2F... 📍Explanada de España https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJRhUudYqae5V... 📍 The Civil War Tragedy at Plaza 25 de Mayo https://maps.app.goo.gl/hHRDpGHoiXMpz... 📍Plaza del Carmen https://maps.app.goo.gl/CzMCeMj44xm1c... 📍Calle San Rafael https://maps.app.goo.gl/ouur5ihvukqdx... 📍Ermita de la Santa Cruz https://maps.app.goo.gl/dMEG6w1gD8s6s... 📍Chapel of San Roque https://maps.app.goo.gl/ivTYsQL3X3zRW... 📍Plaza Quijano https://maps.app.goo.gl/ymoKYpJArExwk... 📍Portal de Elche https://maps.app.goo.gl/BYJKG6AjXo3tL... 📍Basilica of St Mary of Alicante https://maps.app.goo.gl/LTAvUjrb78j9h... 📍Marearock https://maps.app.goo.gl/9rWgCxG2mKow8... 0:00 Uncovering the Hidden Sides of Alicante 1:29 Echoes of History in the Plaza 3:05 Into the Charming Santa Cruz District 5:20 Ancient Chapels and Castle Views 8:02 Wedding Bells and Historic Churches If we can do it, you can too. Adios.

Our channel follows our real life here: local fiestas, markets, seaside towns, road trips, NLV visa experiences and day-to-day Spanish life. If we can move here and do this, you can too. On this channel you’ll see: • Life in Ciudad Quesada and the Costa Blanca • Day trips and Spain road trips from our home base • What Spain is really like for UK retirees • Practical experiences with the NLV visa and living in Spain ⭐ Watch more from Get Me To Spain: • Life in Ciudad Quesada & Costa Blanca • Moving to Spain & retirement in Spain • Spain road trip adventures #GetMeToSpain #CiudadQuesada #CostaBlanca #LifeInSpain #LivingInSpain #MovingToSpain #RetirementInSpain #ExpatLife #SpainTravel #travelspain ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: We share our personal experiences as UK retirees in Spain. Always consult official sources and professionals for visa, tax, and legal advice. We spent three years living in Spain, but we finally found a side of Alicante Spain we had never seen before. From charming streets to a special concert night, this is our latest adventure. After three years of calling the Costa Blanca our home, it is surprising how much there still is to discover. We spent the day exploring new corners of the city, enjoying coffee at outdoor cafes, and soaking up the local atmosphere before heading to a concert by China Crisis. It was a refreshing change of pace from our usual routine in Ciudad Quesada. This is what our life looks like when we step outside our daily comfort zone. If you are considering retirement in Spain or just curious about what the region has to offer beyond the tourist spots, this video captures the simple joy of finding something new in a familiar place.
