Alicante is a key point of tourism in the country thanks to its large hotel capacity and its air connection with the major European capitals. It's said that Alicante is the nicest of the capitals of the community, a city with a magical location between the sea and the mountains. In the words of the local poet Gil-Albert, Alicante looks uninterruptedly to the Mediterranean.
