What are some tips for first time visitors to Alicante in June?

Weather & What to Pack

June marks the beginning of summer in Alicante with pleasantly warm temperatures. Average daily high temperatures increase from 78°F to 84°F (26-29°C) during the month, and cloudy days decrease significantly from 35% to just 15%. The sea temperature reaches around 22°C, making it perfect for swimming, while humidity levels of about 70% can make it feel even warmer.

Pack accordingly with:

• Lightweight, breathable clothing (cotton and linen work best)
• Swimwear and beach essentials
• Sun protection (high SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, hat)
• A light layer for evenings
• Comfortable walking shoes for exploring

Top Attractions to Visit

1. Castillo de Santa Bárbara – This magnificent hilltop castle offers breathtaking panoramas of Alicante city and the coastline that are worth the visit alone. Take the elevator up from near Postiguet Beach or walk up early in the morning to avoid the heat.
2. Explanada de España – The iconic palm-lined promenade with its wave-patterned marble tiles is perfect for evening strolls. This is a favorite spot for the evening “paseo” when the sun loses its heat and locals come out for a stroll.
3. MARQ Archaeological Museum – This excellent museum is housed in a former hospital building and takes visitors through 100,000 years of local history from prehistory through Roman times to modern-day Spain.
4. Tabarca Island – The only inhabited island in the region, Tabarca offers crystal clear waters perfect for snorkeling, beautiful beaches, and excellent seafood restaurants. Take a ferry from Alicante’s port for a wonderful day trip.
5. Alicante’s Old Town (El Barrio) – This charming neighborhood sprawls on the hillside beneath the castle, with steep streets, whitewashed walls, and locals who decorate their balconies and doorsteps with fresh flowers.

Local Tips

• Timing Your Day: Plan outdoor activities for mornings and late afternoons, with a break during the hottest midday hours (1-4pm).
• Beach Time: In mid-June, the beaches are still relatively uncrowded, especially on weekdays when locals are at work.

• Dining: Embrace the Spanish schedule – lunch from 2-4pm and dinner starting after 8:30pm. Try local specialties like arroz a banda (rice with fish), and cool off with horchata, a refreshing drink made from tiger nuts.
• Transportation: The city is very walkable, but the modern tram system makes it easy to reach nearby beaches and towns. Consider a Mobilis transport card for convenience.

Day Trips

• Guadalest – A picturesque mountain village with stunning views and a castle perched on a rock.
