About Alicante Airport & Town
The IATA airport code for Alicante Airport is ALC. Alicante, or El Altet Airport, ranks as the 7th busiest airport in Spain. It is the main landing point for those going onwards to the popular Costa Blanca. It serves the entire Alicante province, and the whole Murcia region. The airport is nine kilometres away from the Elche Municipality, which also serves as its city centre. This is the area that covers the resorts of Denia and Torrevieja, to name but two. The airport now has two terminals. These cater for over 8 million passengers who come and go on over 75,000 flights a year. The airport is highly accessible, with buses and taxis easily available. To get in and out of the airport, the N-338 road is used.
Alicante, the city of lights, is located in Spain's eastern coast and is the second largest city in the Valencian region. Whilst the city does have some tourist attractions, such as the Castillo de Santa, its main attraction is the wonderful, but crowded, white beaches of Costa Blanca, such as San Juan. At Castillo de Santa, take a cable car to the daunting medieval fortress. The cable car traverses the mountain range, so the view is awesome. To find out more about what the town of Alicante has to offer, then a click trip to the website at
www.alicanteturismo.com will be of great help. The buses can take you towards the Alicante town centre, or onwards to Elche, Murica and Benidorm. Just make sure that you board the right bus line. There are three buses running, to and from, the airport. These are the Subus Alcoyana, Subus Moya and Alsa. As for the taxis, Radio Taxi Elche are the official cab company at Alicante Airport. There has been a proposal to build both a train and a tram at the airport, for better transportation options and a much easier access.
