Alicante's Parks and Squares

Alicante's urban landscape is defined by its diverse green spaces, ranging from the historic 19th-century Parque de Canalejas with its century-old ficus trees to the modern, tiered gardens of Parque La Ereta on Mount Benacantil. The city features iconic landmarks like the palm-lined Explanada de España and Plaza de los Luceros, the focal point for local festivals. Visitors can explore specialized spaces such as El Palmeral’s coastal palm groves or the tranquil neighborhood squares that provide shade and respite across the city.
