Alicante’s Early Spring Weekend: Scenic Tours and Family Fun

Embrace the early spring in Alicante with a weekend filled with scenic tours and relaxation. From exhilarating electric bicycle routes to leisurely walking tours, discover the city’s natural beauty and vibrant culture, perfect for a family-friendly getaway.

Discover Alicante’s Scenic Beauty on Two Wheels

As the first rays of March sunlight kiss the shores of Alicante, there’s no better way to embrace the early spring than by embarking on an exhilarating electric bicycle tour. The Electric Bicycle Route offers a unique opportunity to explore the stunning coastal landscapes from Cala Granadella to Cala Moraig. This morning adventure, available from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on both March 1st and 2nd, is perfect for families looking to kickstart their day with a blend of nature and excitement.

The tour begins at the highest points of the mountains, where you’ll be greeted with breathtaking views of the Marina Alta and even glimpses of Ibiza. As you pedal through the scenic routes, the fresh spring air fills your lungs, and the mild temperatures make for a comfortable ride. The journey takes you to the picturesque Cala del Moraig, where a brief stop allows you to soak in the beauty of one of the coast’s most beautiful beaches. The tour continues to the Mirador de Llevant, offering panoramic views of the Llop Mari Cave and the San Antonio Lighthouse.

A highlight of the tour is the descent to Cala Granadella, where you can take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters or simply relax and enjoy the serene surroundings. With helmets, bottled water, and lunch included, this tour is a hassle-free way to explore Alicante’s natural wonders. As one recent review noted, “Spectacular - Organization of 10. The activity of 10. To repeat the experience, I say nothing more because it is best to live the experience that is spectacular” (Reviewed on 2024-08-30).

Stroll Through Benidorm’s Iconic Landmarks

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, the Benidorm Walking Tour offers a delightful exploration of the city’s iconic landmarks. Available throughout the day on March 1st and 2nd, this tour is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of Benidorm.

Guided by a knowledgeable local, you’ll wander through the city’s notable sites, from the traditional bullfighting arena at Plaça de Bous de Benidorm to the scenic Parc de l’Aigüera. The tour promises a high-energy, thrilling experience, allowing you to feel the city’s vibrant aura. As you stroll through the quaint old town, you’ll have the chance to savor local delicacies, shop for keepsakes, and uncover hidden treasures tucked away from the common tourist trails.

The tour also includes a visit to the Platgeta del Mal Pas, a charming beach where locals and tourists alike come to swim, sunbathe, and play water sports. The day concludes with a visit to the Faro del islote de Benidorm, a lighthouse offering impressive views of the sea and coastline. With the sun setting at 6:55 PM, you’ll have ample daylight to explore and enjoy the city’s lively atmosphere.

Practical Tips for a Family-Friendly Weekend

Traveling with kids can be a rewarding experience, especially when you have a well-planned itinerary. For families visiting Alicante this weekend, it’s essential to pack sunscreen, as the UV index reaches a moderate level of 6 by midday. While the weather is generally pleasant, with temperatures peaking at 56°F, there’s a slight chance of rain, so carrying a light rain jacket or umbrella is advisable.

When planning your activities, consider starting your day with the electric bicycle tour, which is best enjoyed in the morning when the skies are clear and the temperatures are cooler. After a morning of adventure, take a leisurely stroll through Benidorm’s landmarks in the afternoon, allowing you to explore at your own pace and enjoy the city’s vibrant culture.

For meals, Alicante offers a variety of family-friendly dining options, from traditional Spanish tapas to international cuisine. Be sure to try some local delicacies and enjoy the warm hospitality of the region. With a mix of outdoor adventures and cultural experiences, this early spring weekend in Alicante promises to be a memorable one for the whole family.
