Francisco's Experience in Alicante, Spain

What attracts you to living in Alicante? Do you recommend it? What's it like?

It's quite a small city and it's not very expensive. You have everything you need more or less, which makes it a very easy city to live in. I think that for a student it is a really good city as there is a great student atmosphere and lots of students that go out all the time to drink and party.
