Leaving the port area of Alicante, you will discover that, despite the small matter of the Mediterranean Sea, the city of Alicante is historically and economically more in step with North Africa than with Spain. From the beach, the mountain resembles a face and, for this reason, it is locally known as 'the face of the Moor.' It is an icon of the city of Alicante, and over the centuries, this area has been of enormous strategic value to Spain.
A walking tour leads you through Alicante's charming Old Town, located at the foot of the imposing castle.
Next, you'll drive to Busot to visit the Canelobre Caves — a heritage site of the Valencian Autonomous Region. Within the cave is one of the highest vaulted ceilings of Spain — about 210 feet tall — like that of a cathedral. Admire the strange and beautiful natural works of art, including Medusa, the candelabros (from which the name of the caves derives) and a multitude of spectacular forms.
Returning to Alicante, relax during a brief panoramic drive as you catch a glimpse of this bustling Mediterranean city and head back to the ship.
