Santa Bárbara Castle - El Bacarot

Great place to visit and free. Views from the top are amazing and also plenty to see inside the castle . You can walk up which is good as you can also take in surrounding scenery which is spectacular. There is also a lift by the beach on the front that will take you to the castle for a small fee . Would definitely recommend visiting here when in Alicante

Easy access with elevator, which costs 2.7 € for adults Very beautiful view of the city and lovely castle You can also walk inside the castle. We returned on foot, which was amazing Highly recommend to visit

Beautiful castle and the view you get from the top is amazing! I can only recommend talking a stroll up there in the evening when it is not that hot anymore (during summer). It was a highlight for our trip to Alicante.

Went to visit the castle while on holiday here it is huge! And it is really well preserved, visitors get free entry and it's well worth a visit! The views are spectacular over the harbour and Alicante. There is a lot of walking involved, so it's not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems. While we were visiting, there was a display of horror film props in one area of the castle it was fantastic and rather creepy! Would highly recommend a trip here if you are in the area !

When in Alicante, don't miss a trip to the Santa Barbara Castle overlooking the town. Whilst you can drive up to the top it is a nice walk with great views. I recommend a guided tour as it will give you access to otherwise restricted areas. There are also amazing views from the top!
