Alicante is a port city in southeastern Spain at the centre of the Costa Blanca coast. The Santa Barbara castle on the Benacantil crag above it serves as both emblem and best viewpoint, while the Explanada de Espana along the shore is known for its wave-patterned promenade laid with six and a half million pieces of mosaic. The Postiguet beach sits right beside the centre, which makes it easy to fit city sightseeing and a swim into the same day. Pegasus flies direct from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen, a flight of about 4 hours 15 minutes.
