Alicante Hotels in June
The Hostal Mendez Nunez
The Hostal Mendez Nunez, located in the centre of town, is an excellent base from which to explore the delights of Alicante's beaches, nightlife and shopping. It offers a limited range of facilities but the rooms are comfortable and modern (if somewhat impersonal), and with the town on your doorstep you're sure to find plenty to entertain you outside the hotel anyway.
Holiday Inn Express Alicante
At the very lowest end of the price range, the Holiday Inn Express Alicante is a good choice for budget, no frills accommodation. If you're not fussed about décor or facilities, and just looking for a cheap base from which to explore, this is perfect. The Holiday Inn chain cater primarily to families on a budget, and, while good value for money, offers few amenities.
Alicante Beach for June
Playa del Coco
Playa del Coco is a smaller beach, where the city's fishermen used to land their catch. There's still a lovely harbour here, with plenty of bars and restaurants, and the beach itself is a firm favourite with tourists.
Playa de la Albufereta
Playa de la Albufereta, in the north of the city, takes its name from the small coastal lake that once existed on this spot. It was home to the harbour that served the Roman village of Lucentum. History aside, it's also a beautiful spot with plenty of amenities on offer including opportunities to participate in various watersports.
Playa de la Albufereta becomes Playa de la Almadraba halfway along, a cosy sandy beach little used by tourists but the perfect environment for watersports or those who like to swim.
Bars and Restaurants
Azahar
Azahar is a small traditional restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere, and a fantastic authentic local menu. The grilled vegetables and rice dishes are very popular but the restaurant's speciality is its extraordinary Paella, 'arroz con costra', made with black sausage and baked in the oven with a layer of beaten eggs on the top to form a delicious crust.
