A trip to the cinema can be a lovely reason for an autumn break: spend the day exploring Alicante, then settle in for a film in the evening. From Monday 19 to Thursday 22 October 2026, Film Week makes it easier to enjoy the big screen, with tickets at participating cinemas for €3.50.
If you are planning to spend a few days in the city, combine a film with a walk around the centre, a visit to Santa Bárbara Castle or an afternoon by the sea. And if you would like to make more of the trip than a single evening, Alicante Smart Hotel has an autumn offer available.

What is Film Week and how can you take part?
Film Week is a four-day cinema promotion that encourages people to return to the big screen at a special price. This edition runs from 19 to 22 October, with tickets priced at €3.50 for films showing at participating cinemas.
There is no need to register or get accredited. Depending on the cinema, you can buy tickets at the box office, on its website or at a self-service kiosk in the foyer. Tickets went on sale on 14 October.
The special price may not apply to every format or screening. 3D, IMAX and 4DX screenings, VIP seating and special events may have a supplement or separate terms. Online bookings may also include a booking fee. Check the final price and screening conditions before paying.
The offer applies to films listed in the programme of a participating cinema. A film may be showing at one venue but not another, so check the schedule on the cinema’s own website.

How to combine a film with an autumn break
Film Week can be a good excuse to stay a little longer and explore Alicante at a slower pace. Spend the day wandering through the old town, visiting Santa Bárbara Castle or a museum, or heading to Postiguet Beach. Save a cinema session for the evening, followed by dinner or a drink.
Alicante Smart Hotel, in the Carolinas Bajas neighbourhood, can make a practical base for this kind of trip. It is around 1.5 km from the city centre and railway station, about a 20-minute walk from Postiguet Beach, and close to Santa Bárbara Castle and the bullring. The rooms include a kitchen, which can be handy if you are staying for a few days and prefer to prepare some of your own meals.
The autumn offer makes it easier to extend your trip beyond the four days of Film Week. Book three nights for 15% off or five nights for 20% off. The offer also includes a bottle of Alicante wine per stay and late check-out until 1:00 pm, subject to availability. It is valid for stays from 15 September to 30 November 2026 and cannot be combined with the Club Alegría discount or other promotions.
