The beaches of Alicante are waiting for you, thus check out the following list of the best sandy spots and pick your favorites:
San Juan is among the best beaches in Alicante. It’s located 6 miles away from the city centre, so you can easily reach it if you hire a car. Covered with light, fine sand, the beach is 2 miles long, while its width is about 80 meters. Entry into the water is convenient, the sea is clean and calm, the bottom is flat and gentle. The beach itself is very picturesque and quite lively, but you will always find a place to lie down there. If you come to Playa San Juan with children, they will be incredibly happy with carousels, play space in the form of a pirate ship, and areas for active games. The beach borders a promenade with an alley of palm trees where you will enjoy a walk. Nearby you’ll find a parking lot and a professional golf course.
Playa del Postiguet
Located in the heart of the city, this is the central beach of Alicante. Unfortunately, its great popularity is the reason for the lack of parking spaces. Therefore, try to arrive here early if you are travelling in a hire car.Surrounded by dense palm trees, Playa del Postiguet ranks among the city's finest natural sites. You can safely come there with children. Entry into the water is smooth, while the bottom is soft and gentle. The beach has taps for washing feet, several toilets, a volleyball court, and a soccer field.The smallest vacationers will be happy to spend time in the play area. Also, the central city embankment with boutiques, restaurants, and cafes is within walking distance. If you want to enjoy some sightseeing, the beach provides easy access to the iconic Old Town and the Santa Barbara Castle .
Playa de la Albufereta
The list of the best beaches in Alicante continues with Playa de la Albufereta. It’s a small but rather beautiful cove nestled between the mountains of Tossa de Manises and Sierra Grossa. The beach is only 3 miles away from the city centre, so it’s easy to get there by hire car. The sea is calm, warm, and shallow enough there. In addition, families with children will appreciate several playgrounds nearby. The coastline with light, fine sand makes Playa de la Albufereta a great place to unwind. The descent to the water is convenient, while the bottom is sandy and clean. On-site, you will find boat and sun lounger rentals, several cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as plenty of shops. Numerous sports grounds will delight active travellers. Plus, the coastal rocks offer good snorkeling and diving opportunities.
Playa de la Almadraba
Located 3 miles from the city centre in a closed bay, Playa de la Almadraba also enters the list of the best Alicante’s beaches. With a length of almost 700 meters, its width is only 6 meters, but this doesn’t prevent it from being a great place to soak up the gentle Spanish sun. You will love white sand mixed with small pebbles.
The entry into the sea is shallow, while the water is clear and calm. At the same time, the water line is wide enough for children to swim in. The beach facilities provide several playgrounds, so the kids will definitely not get bored. Despite some privacy and the absence of crowds, there’s everything for a good rest - sun loungers, ramps and wooden flooring for wheelchair users, taps for washing feet, and even an exercise area. If you come to the beach in a hire car, you can leave it in a nearby parking lot.
According to numerous reviews, Playa de la Almadraba is also a great place to watch the best sunsets along the coast.
Playa de Huertas
It’s impossible not to mention Playa de las Huertas when describing the best beaches in Alicante. It’s a small rocky cove located near the rocky headland of the same name. Usually, you won’t see many people there - the reason for this is the uneven bottom, dotted with many sharp stones, the steep descent into the water and the great distance from the city centre. The lack of traditional beach facilities is also not conducive to a classic beach holiday. People don't come to Playa de las Huertas to sit in a restaurant or soak up the sun with a cocktail in hand. This is a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city or go diving.Summing it up, the beaches of Alicante are a great way to spend an unforgettable family weekend in Spain. However, if you are looking for something different, head to the beaches of Barcelona. ¡SerÃa una gran idea alquiler coche 7 plazas Barcelona y encontrar la mejor playa para ti y tus hijos!

As the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh is a great holiday destination with many interesting sights to see. However, what if you have already managed to explore all the interesting places in this city? The answer is simple - pick up a hire car and go on a trip around its surroundings. High-quality roads allow you to travel in comfort, while Budget Edinburgh offers a wide range of vehicles for all tastes. The region is full of beautiful mountains, beautiful coastlines, ancient castles and abbeys, so you will definitely have something to do! Let's take a look at the best sights to see on day trips from Edinburgh.
You've probably heard of the Loch Ness monster many times. If you hire a car in Edinburgh, you can reach this mystical lake in just 3 hours.
The first mention of the Loch Ness monster dates back to 565: the Irish monk saw a strange animal in the local waters. Even now, scientists continue to study the composition of the water and analyze the local flora and fauna to be sure of the existence of Nessie. In 2019, scientists from New Zealand suggested that a huge eel once lived in the lake, which was exactly this monster. However, the lake is beautiful despite the legend. Geologists claim that it appeared during the Ice Age due to the displacement of rocks. The reservoir is 37-kilometers-long and over 1.5 km wide. Loch Ness is the second largest lake in Scotland and has more freshwater than the total fresh water in England and Wales!
The castle is the ancestral home of the Bowes-Lyon dynasty, to which the mother of Queen Elizabeth II belonged. Here Her Majesty's younger sister Margaret was born. Now the castle, located 74 miles from Edinburgh, belongs to the queen's relative, the Earl of Strathmore. It will be a great idea to go there in a hire car, especially since a one-way trip will take only an hour and a half. In one wing of the building there’s a museum open to the public, while the other is home to the count's family. The castle is surrounded by extensive land holdings and gardens. Not only typical British plants grow in them, but also rare specimens of conifers brought from different parts of the world. Glamis is surrounded by many legends. The most famous of them says that the castle has a secret room where the owners of the house played cards with the devil himself.
Cairngorms is the largest national park in Great Britain. The area is also home to many of the region's attractions: Angus Glens Hills, Blair Castle, the scenic Donside and Royal Deeside, Glen Shee Valley and Glenlivet Distillery. In addition, the Queen's summer residence, Balmoral Castle, is also located in Cairngorms. You can explore the national park on foot or by bike, leaving your car hire parked nearby. Thrill-seekers will be able to use the cable car to climb the highest point - Mount Cairn Gorm, located at an altitude of 1,141 meters above sea level. Those wishing to learn more about the history of the region can visit the Agricultural Museum or the Braemar Gallery, which contains works by local artists.
In 2015, National Geographic named Isle of Skye the fourth most beautiful island in the world. Travelers come there to walk along the coast, climb Mount Cuillin and see Dunvegan Castle, which still belongs to the MacLeod clan. Dunvegan is considered to be one of the oldest inhabited castles in the world. The main building dates back to the 12th century, but some of them date back to the 9th century. According to legend, the island is home to fairies. They say that fairy-tale sorceresses live in the Fairy Glen Valley, swim in the Fairy Pools waterfalls and wait for lost tourists at the Magic Bridge. So, be careful!
Melrose Abbey was founded by monks of the Cistercian order in 1136. It was a complex of red sandstone structures. During the Middle Ages, the abbey was plundered and desecrated several times. Now only ruins remain of it. Ornate capitals and sculptures, a fountain in the shape of a pig, and the Rosslyn Chapel, mentioned by Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code, have survived to this day. The chapel is decorated with unique carvings. This gave rise to rumors that it was associated with the Knights Templar and Freemasonry. You can also visit Hadrian's Wall during your day trip to the Abbey. It was built by the Romans in the 2nd century AD. The fortress was built to protect against the raids of the Picts - an ancient people who inhabited the territory of modern Scotland.
Walter Scott believed that Kelso is the most beautiful and romantic city in Scotland. It’s located 43 miles from Edinburgh making it easy to get there with your hire car. Here you will see the old market square, the five-arch bridge over the Tweed River and the ruins of a medieval abbey. However, the most famous landmark of the city is the Floors Castle, created in 1721. This castle belongs to the Duchess of Roxburghe. Until recently, it was a residential castle, but recently the last worker left it. Now this sight is open to the public. The interiors of the castle contain collections of antique porcelain, carriages, baby carriages, bathing cars and other items of the Victorian era. You can also stroll through the beautiful gardens around Floors Castle.

Alicante is a popular Spanish resort, attracting travelers not only with its wide seaside and scorching sun, but also with excellent sightseeing opportunities. Local sights will surely take you away from the gentle sea waters for a few days and plunge you into an ocean of history, culture and picturesque locations.
It’s important that you can visit most of the highlights on your own, so be sure to book Firefly car hire Alicante for your trip. You will be happy to start your adventure as soon as you land at the airport. If you haven't decided where to go yet, here’re some ideas for your car trip to Alicante:
Take a trip to Santa Barbara
The observation deck in an ancient medieval fortress is a perfect setting for a romantic sunset. Santa Barbara Castle took the best place with a view of the entire city on Mount Benacantil. The fortress was built by Arabs, completed by the French and Spaniards, and now it’s great to drink coffee with ice cream here and take pictures against the backdrop of a gorgeous panorama.

In order to relax on the islands in Spain, you don’t have to take a flight to the Canary Islands. Pick up a hire car and drive to the marina in Santa Pola.

For a complete immersion in the local flavor, stay on a romantic island for the night: there are excellent hotels in Tabarka.
Organize Yourself a Museum Day
The ideal plan for a hot afternoon in Alicante is to get in a hire car and get lost in the cool museum halls. It sounds boring, but in fact the opposite is true: Alicante has an excellent free Museum of Contemporary Art with works by Dali, Miro and lesser known Spanish artists.

At the MARQ Archaeological Museum, you will walk on the glass floor over the sunken ship and the archaeological site and literally touch the history.

The entrance to the museum is free of charge. It offers more interaction than boring signs, so both adults and children will like it.
Have fun with the whole family Chocolate and churros for breakfast is a real children's paradise. Take your happiness to the limit and head to the Valor Factory Chocolate Museum for a free guided tour and some sweet treats. Want to explore the wildlife? Set off to the zoo. At Rio Safari Elche, you can walk among zebras and giraffes, as well as see playful lemurs. For the rides, you will have to drive you hire car to Benidorm: the journey will take a little less than an hour. There you will get access to two amusement parks at once. In Aqualandia, you will catch a wave of extreme on the water slides and soak in the Jacuzzi, while in Terra Mitica you will watch themed shows about Greece, Egypt and Rome and ride the carousels.
Watch the bullfight
In some regions of Spain, bullfighting is prohibited, but Alicante is not yet one of them. Here you can still watch the traditional confrontation between a bullfighter and a bull. The arena is located in the city center and you can buy tickets right in the building under the sign of Plaza Toros.
If you are not ready for a cruel show, but you want to join the Spanish tradition, go to the free Bullfighting Museum. At the entrance the head of a bull defeated in the local arena will greet you, and pictures of brave matadors will watch on you from the walls. After admiring the costumes and accessories of bullfighters, take a walk through the arena itself. As you can see, Alicante is a great place to spend your vacation, and a hire car is your indispensable travel guide. However, this also applies to other locations. Si recoge el alquiler coche Ibiza, Tenerife u otra ubicación española, también podrá apreciar verdaderamente la comodidad de viajar en transporte privado.
