The Town

Discover Alicante

Alicante, the luminous capital of Costa Blanca, is the starting point of the South Camino, one of the longest and most diverse Jacobean routes in Spain. Starting the pilgrimage here is to begin with the Mediterranean breeze and light. The city welcomes the pilgrim with the imposing image of Santa Barbara Castle, which dominates the bay from Mount Benacantil and offers breathtaking views. The "kilometer zero" symbolic point is located at San Nicolas Cathedral. Before embarking on the journey, the walker can enjoy a stroll along the famous Explanada de España, relax on Postiguet beach or get lost in the charm of Santa Cruz neighborhood. Alicante is a great service center, ideal for preparing the pilgrim for the long journey ahead, a 1000 km trip that will take them from sea to the meseta and Galician mountains. It's a starting point that contrasts Mediterranean joy with the promise of an inner path, solitary and deep.
