Alicante is a cultural center and has a varied selection of events and parties.

At the end of June a traditional arts and crafts market is staged in Plaza de la Santisima Faz. The event has a medieval theme.

During July and August the new esplanade in front of the port comes alive for the summer festival with constant theatrical performances and concerts. The fist ten days of December sees the International Puppet Festival that attracts people from all over the world - one of the finest events of its kind.

Shopping in Alicante

Shopping is a favorite pastime for many tourists and locals. In recent years, as the city has grown so has the quantity and quality of its retail outlets. Thankfully, although the chain stores and retail giants have made their presence felt (in much the same way as with most other European cities), a good selection of local stores remain. So whether you are after authentic souvenirs, handicrafts, ceramics, and leather ware, or traditional foodstuffs, oils and ingredients, you are in the right place.

The arts scene is also prospering in Alicante, and as a result of this there has been a marked increase in art related shops, which range from local art and sculpture, to outlets importing goods from overseas.

As you might expect the biggest growth in the retail sector here has been with the addition of large department stores and shopping centres. Alicante is home to a number of new malls/centres which are mainly located around the seafront promenade and in the central zones.
