All about the archaeological aspect of Alicante, this tour begins with a panoramic drive to the MARQ Museum. Here, an expert curator guides you through the collections. The MARQ is an archaeology museum dedicated to displaying its collection in classified and cataloged order. It is also a brilliant introduction to the various methods and techniques of preservation and restoration in the field of archaeology. These are explained in three galleries — Field Archaeology, Urban Archaeology, and Underwater Archaeology. Dioramas, audiovisual presentations, and interactive exhibits provide visitors with a detailed insight into how archaeologists uncover the past. The information is displayed in an attractive and didactic way.
A walking tour through the city center brings you to the Fogueres Museum. This facility highlights the many celebrations and festivals held in Alicante each year, so it's all about fun and fiestas!
Return to the ship, having experienced an extraordinary contrast in subject matter in each of the two museums.
