Spanish Language Schools in Spain:Spanish Language School in Alicante: Atmosphere and Fiestas in Alicante.
In El Barrio, the name of the old town, there is a high concentration of bars and restaurants with excellent atmosphere, as well as some places with live music, preferably jazz. Some must-see stops are: La Zona, just behind the Explanada (forecourt), which is for the young and lively crowd, or la Ruta de la Madera, behind Alfonso el Sabio Avenue and El Puerto, with their more modern spots, discotheques and out-door cafes. If you take part in the festivities you will enjoy truly magic moments. We recommend the pilgrimage of Santa Faz or the processions of Moors and Christians, the Porrate of Saint Anthony around the 17th of January with its stands in the streets, the processions of Saint Nicholas, or the Carnivals. On June 24th, the eve of San Juan, or Saint John, traditional bonfires are lit all over the city and the streets filled with music, celebration and fireworks. Huge papier-m‰chŽ monuments are consumed by the flames during the purifying rituals of this magical night. And these are only some of the most significant festivities. There are many others celebrated throughout the year. All year round Alicante offers you an extensive cultural programme. You can choose among a variety of concerts, conferences, theatrical productions or a medieval market at the end of June. There is also a summer festival on the forecourt of the harbour with its theatre plays and concerts. Do not forget the nights of the Castle, the International Festival of Contemporary Music or the International Puppets Festival. Apply to our Spanish Language School in Alicante Now! |
