Three things only Alicante offers
Beyond the headline numbers, Alicante has specific characteristics that affect property decisions:
- Alicante is the headquarters of the Volvo Ocean Race (now The Ocean Race) since 2010 — the city's marina hosts the start of each edition.
- AVE high-speed rail to Madrid takes 2h20 — making Alicante a commutable city for Madrid-based remote workers.
- The Castillo de Santa Bárbara is one of the largest medieval fortresses in Europe and dominates the urban skyline.
