Hertz in Alicante
The glorious Mediterranean port city of Alicante sits on Spain's east coast, in the Valencian region, and has a population of more 330,000 residents. This historic city was founded in 324 BC, and was inhabited by a whole host of settlers from ancient Greeks, to Romans and the Moors until in the 13th century when it became established under Spanish rule. Today, one of the best ways to explore the city is by road, so arrange car rental from Alicante and take in its beautiful beaches, colourful culture and cuisine, family attractions, great shopping and a busy nightlife.
Alicante is a delightful city to explore. Walk along the intricately tiled, palm tree-lined Explanada de Espana, and enjoy Alicante's Playa del Postiguet. Enjoy some of Spain's most celebrated art at Museo de Bellas Artes Gravina and Museo de Arte Contemporaneo, which is home to some of Dali's work. Stroll through the Parque de la Ereta up Mount Benacantil to the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, which offers panoramic views across the city and beyond. For a family day outside of the city, rent a car from Alicante and take in holiday resort Benidorm's Aqua Natura and Terra Mitica amusement parks half an hour's drive away.
