Alicante is one of its resort towns, which is located on the Costa Blanca, with the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Being in the historical area of Valencia, this cozy town still retains the charm of the fishing village, which he used to be. Today, however, like the entire coastal Spain, Alicante is a large trading port that exports seafood and fish.

On the territory of this town once lived the Greeks, who left here the ruins of their amphitheatres, colonnades and simple residential buildings. He also owns the name of this village, which in Greek sounded like Acra Levka, which in translation means "white peak". Some time later, Arabs arrived on the shores of modern Spain and translated this name into their own language, resulting in the result of Al-Lakant. Since then, this city is so called the whole world and the whole of Spain.
