Alicante Airport
Alicante Airport (ALC), also known as L'Altet Airport, is located 11 km (6.8
miles) south of the city centre.
Alicante is served by a number of airlines including easyJet, Ryanair, Air
Berlin, Iberia, Spanair, Monarch, Germanwings, Aerlingus, Finnair, Thomsonfly,
Cimber Sterling, Transavia.com and Jet2.com.
Bus No C-6 connects airport with the city. It departs every 20 minutes from
Bus stop No 30 (the closest bus stop to the exit from Terminal 1), and it takes
less than 30 minutes to the centre. One-way ride costs €2.60 (2010). (In
the past, the bus followed a circular route Alicante-Torrellano-Airport-Alicante.
Nowadays, it takes a shorter direct route Alicante-Airport-Alicante [3]).
A taxi to the city will cost approximately €20. Cabs are located just
outside of arrivals. A dozen car rental agencies are located at the ground floor
of Terminal 1 including Avis, Budget, Hertz and Europcar.
By train
RENFE runs a number of trains per day from Madrid and Barcelona. A ride from
Madrid takes three and a half hours, and from Barcelona it takes five hours.
Commuter trains connect Alicante with Murcia and neighborhoods. The RENFE Train
Station is in the city centre at Avenida de Salamanca 1
By tram
licante has a modern and still-expanding tram system. It runs along the coast
of Costa Blanca up to Benidorm, from where you can connect to Altea, Calpe,
and Denia by a diesel train. Railway electrification from Benidorm to Denia
is under construction.
The tram is somewhat reasonably priced. It is cost-efficient to buy a round-trip
ticket. Keep the ticket until the end of journey. On underground stations in
Alicante (but not on the other stations) you will need it to exit from the system.
By bus
The bus station is on the western rim of the city centre. ALSA has many lines,
including to Valencia, Barcelona and Granada.
By boat
Direct ferry links exist to Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca, as well as to Oran
and Alger in Algeria. Book earl
