The parties tend to start late and last deep into the night or even until dawn. Dinner, too, is served quite late, usually at nine or ten.

If you want to start the night with a touch of elegance go to the port and Marina area, there you will find a unique backdrop for pubs, open-air bars, clubs, cafes and exclusive restaurants.

El Barrio, or the old city center, is a particularly good place to go for drinks or a late-night meal; cafes and taverns line the streets, sometimes with live salsa or jazz music.

Near the Esplanada, a more modern Alicante features elegant pubs, fine dining, discos and dance clubs.

Down in the port area, relaxing cafés double up as crowded clubs every night. All the clubs in the port are open until the sun comes up.

Also in the area are restaurants, taverns and two cinemas. In the surrounding streets there are trendy cafes, luxury restaurants, pubs and clubs.

You can take the TRAM to the beautiful San Juan beach, full of restaurants and bars in the summer.
