The so-called Santa Cruz neighborhood, or Santa Creu neighborhood of Alicante, is the most beautiful area in the entire city, as it is the old town, where you will find many places worth visiting.

Santa Cruz is located at the foot of the castle of Santa Bárbara, it is this enclave where Muslims already lived centuries ago: Al-Laqant.

The steep and narrow streets and intricate urban planning are designed to escape (or try to escape) the high temperatures in summer.

Although it is a district of a large city (Alicante has 330,000 inhabitants, the 2nd in population of the Valencian Comunidad), you will have the feeling of being in a small town when you immerse yourself in the streets of Santa Cruz. Where all residents meet each other, live with cordiality, where children run and play on the streets, and where houses are decorated with tiles, flowers, flower pots, and the name of the family living in the house is written on their walls.

You must have good mobility with the many stairs and steep streets.

This hillside neighborhood is a must for anyone visiting Alicante. There are many stairs and brightly painted houses. There is a beautiful view from the church square.
