Practical tips

Best time to visit

Spring and autumn are ideal: mild, less crowded and perfect for hiking. Summer is great for the beach, but hot and busy.

Getting around

A car gives you the most freedom for the inland and hidden coves. Trains and buses connect Alicante, Benidorm and Dénia, and the tram is handy along the coast.
