ALICANTEAlicante, with a population of 284,000 inhabitants, is known as the pearl of the Mediterranean. It enjoys a wonderful climate year round with splendid beaches that earn the Blue Flag Award from the European Community every year. The famous Postiguet beach is in the very center of town. The area, inhabited well before Roman times, is of vital importance in the modern economy of Spain. Famous leisure destinations such as Campello, San Juan, Tabarca and Ibiza are located within easy reach of Alicante. The international airport enjoys frequent service to most mayor European capitals, while daily train service connects it easily with Madrid and Barcelona. Alicante offers the advantages of a medium-sized city with a varied cultural life, a young and dynamic university and a booming economy and at the same time a relaxed beach town atmosphere. Century old traditions like the San Juan festivities and the "Moors and Christians" celebrations (a revival of the "Reconquista" battles) continue to be celebrated in Alicante every year, adding to the multi-faceted flavor of this seaside city.
