Summer is a magical season in the coastal cities of Alicante and Valencia.
With their clear skies, warm temperatures and vibrant social life, these cities offer the perfect setting to enjoy your summer days and nights. From Broadway Consulting, your trusted real estate agent, we want to share with you some of the best plans to enjoy the summer to the fullest.
1. Explore rooftops and terraces
There is no better way to enjoy the summer than with a panoramic view of the city. Both Alicante and Valencia have numerous rooftops and terraces where you can relax with friends or partner while enjoying a refreshing cocktail.
– Alicante:
You can’t miss the rooftop terrace of the Hotel Amérigo, with its stunning view of the Castle of Santa Barbara. Ideal for enjoying a sunset with a glass of wine or a mojito.
– Valencia:
Ateneo Sky Bar is one of the city’s gems, with spectacular views of the Plaza del Ayuntamiento. Its sophisticated atmosphere and delicious cocktails make it an ideal place for a special night out.
2. Summer gastronomy: what to order?
Summer is synonymous with fresh, light meals, and on these terraces you’ll find a variety of options that you’ll love.
– Starters:
Fresh salads, Andalusian gazpacho, and a selection of seafood are perfect for starters. In Valencia, don’t miss the opportunity to try the ensaladilla rusa, a local delicacy.
– Main courses:
Paella is the star of Levantine gastronomy. Whether it’s in its traditional Valencian version with chicken and rabbit, or a seafood version with fresh seafood, you can’t leave without trying this iconic dish.
– Drinks:
As well as classic cocktails such as mojito or piña colada, in Valencia we recommend you try horchata, a refreshing drink made from tiger nuts. In Alicante, a good choice is sangria or agua de Valencia, a mixture of cava, orange juice and liqueur.
3. What to do afterwards?
Once you have enjoyed a delicious dinner on one of the many terraces, the evening still offers many possibilities.
– Evening strolls:
The beaches of both cities are perfect for an evening stroll. The sea breeze and the sound of the waves create a relaxing atmosphere ideal for an after-dinner stroll.
– Nightlife:
If you’re looking for something more lively, Alicante and Valencia boast a vibrant nightlife. From jazz clubs to discotheques with top DJ’s, there is something for everyone. In Alicante, El Puerto is a popular spot, while in Valencia, Ruzafa is the trendy neighbourhood.
– Culture:
During the summer, both cities offer an extensive programme of cultural events, from open-air concerts to cinema on the beaches. Keep an eye on the local agenda to make sure you don’t miss anything.
