What to Do in Alicante This Weekend – Feb 12–15

This weekend in Alicante is a rare case when the city literally “plays” on every stage: at ADDA – a major symphonic program, Pastoral Americana, and chamber evenings; at MARQ – Candlelight concerts by candlelight; and a brand-new circus show, “Cyborg” by Circo Raluy Legacy, is starting in the city.

To fit in as much as possible (and not “lose” half a day because of standard check-in hours), plan your weekend so you arrive earlier and leave later: it’s exactly the format where early check-in and late check-out turn a weekend into a mini-vacation. A nice bonus – a 10% discount when booking directly at Alicante Smart Hotel: spend less on accommodation – keep more for concerts, museums, and great dinners.
