Alicante carries a small city centre, so that you can visit most of the tourist locations by foot. The city is pre-historical and hence there are various historical places of interests in Alicante which are worth a trip. Iglesia de Santa Maria - the 15th century church ? is one such edifice, also the oldest in Alicante. The interesting aspect with Iglesia de Santa Maria is that it was obviously a mosque throughout the Moorish times. The MUBAG and Town Hall are found quite nearby. Located 5km from your city centre may be the Monastery de la Santa Faz, that is a great tourist attraction worth visiting.
