Eating and drinking recommendations sought please?

Both are important to living so yes, I would recommend both eating and drinking while in Alicante.

He's got to be writing a fucking travel book.

Centre mid for Tottingham

His brother owns a lovely deli

We go to this place in the evening it’s a group of restaurants, Italian cuisine but it’s decent and just back from the sea front.

Unfortunately, I only did one night in the city centre but there was plenty of choice. We ate in a little square that had 4 or 5 restaurants all together doing different cuisines but it appeared that you could order from any of them. The square was opposite the town hall. 

There is also a chain called Sento which have branches dotted all over. The food was decent and value for money but this was snack food rather than evening meals. 

The marina was OK for a drink, again lots of bars and restaurants in this area. 

Was a great bar on Calle del Pintor Aparicio

English fella called Burts its called Buertas

Guiness, Stella and cider. Does pie and chips just like home and fucking wicked gammon and eggs.

Alicante was superb. Great marina, beach and restaurants. A typical old town area. Castle is worth a trip too. Saw the bikers finish. Great place, hardly any brits, which was nice.

It is a great town, very under rated, beach and Marina are great and the views from the castle are amazing, its definitely worth a visit. Most Brits head for Benidorm, much prefer Alicante myself.

I really liked it - went on a stag do and stayed in a villa in Albufereta. Ventured over to Playa San Juan for a day and headed into Alicante one evening.

I then went to Benidorm to visit a mate and wanted to leave after less than 15 minutes! Luckily, he only works in Benidorm and lives in Albir. Albir is also alright for a visit
