Alicante (/ˌælᵻˈkæntiˌ -teɪ/, Spanish: [aliˈkante]), or Alacant (Valencian: [alaˈkant]), both the Valencian and Spanish being official names, is a city and port in Spain on the Costa Blanca, the capital of the province of Alicante and of the comarca of Alacantí, in the south of the Valencian Community. It is also a historic Mediterranean port. The population of the city of Alicante proper was 332,067, estimated as of 2014, ranking as the second-largest Valencian city. Including nearby municipalities, the Alicante conurbation had 452,462 residents. The population of the metropolitan area (including Elche and satellite towns) was 757,085 as of 2014 estimates, ranking as the eighth-largest metropolitan area of Spain.
The name of the city echoes the Arabic name Laqant (لَقَنْت) or Al-Laqant (ألَلَقَنْت), which in turn reflects the Latin Lucentum.
The area around Alicante has been inhabited for over 7000 years. The first tribes of hunter gatherers moved down gradually from Central Europe between 5000 and 3000 BC. Some of the earliest settlements were made on the slopes of Mount Benacantil. By 1000 BC Greek and Phoenician traders had begun to visit the eastern coast of Spain, establishing small trading ports and introducing the native Iberian tribes to the alphabet, iron and the pottery wheel. By the 3rd century BC, the rival armies of Carthage and Rome began to invade and fight for control of the Iberian Peninsula. The Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca established the fortified settlement of Akra Leuka (Greek: Ἄκρα Λευκή, meaning "White Mountain" or "White Point"), where Alicante stands today.

Alicante is a port city on Spain's southeastern Costa Blanca, and also the capital of the province of Alicante. Its old town, Barrio de la Santa Cruz has narrow streets, coloured houses and a lively nightlife. You can from there take an escalator or a steep climb up to the Medieval Castillo (Castle) de Santa Barbera set up on the hilltop with stunning views. Music - "Learn To Fly" by Josh Woodward.

In contrast to our other photo slideshows, these series should prove longer as we were in Spain for about 2 weeks, so I had a lot more time to visit more places and take more pictures. These series should have at least 3-4 parts in which I will show different streets (note that this is episode two from the second series), beaches and architecture found in the South parts of Spain - mostly Valencia and Alicante. Enjoy and comment!
This is the city's most important celebration, officially declared as of International Tourist Interest. Its origin lies in the tradition of burning useless objects with the arrival of the summer solstice. fiestasThroughout the city, over 200 large satirical papier mâché statues are set up.These will go up in smoke on the 24th June during the spectacular "Night of Burning" or "Noche de la Cremà", alongside the popular "Banyà" or "soaking" as firefighters put out the blazes.

I'm as eloquent as an elephant
Bought as headstrong as the Mighty King Kong
On a rampage throwing airplanes
I can't believe you haven't gone away
Gone away
I'm difficult, argumentative
'Bout as thick skulled as the dinosaur bones on a Display in a glass case
I can't believe you haven't run away
Run away
[Chorus:]
It must be different through your eyes
'Cause you look at me like it's the first time
The first time
That you've ever seen my face
I'm preoccupied with a crowded mind
I get off track like a train rolling back to the future
Never too sure
Who'll be here when I come back around
But I'm finding out
[Chorus:]
It must be different through your eyes
'Cause you look at me like it's the first time
The first time
