Alicante

🚼Pram

The Explanada de Espana promenade and the seafront path to Postiguet beach are flat, wide and easy for strollers. Santa Barbara Castle, perched on a hill above the old town, is reachable by lift, so you can skip the steep climb with a pram in tow.

🍽️Food & Eating

Alicante has a strong, unpretentious tapas scene with plenty of family-friendly marisquerias (seafood restaurants) along the harbour. Rice dishes like arroz a banda are a local specialty and easy to share with kids. Supermarkets and pharmacies are widespread for everyday needs.

🛡️Safety

Alicante is a safe, relaxed city with low crime rates and a laid-back Mediterranean pace. Tap water is safe to drink. Postiguet beach is calm and lifeguarded in season, making it a good, low-stress spot for young children to paddle.

🏥Hospitals

Hospital General Universitario de Alicante has a full emergency department and pediatric services. Private clinics like Vithas Medimar are used to international patients. Pharmacies are abundant throughout the city centre and beachfront.
