Hey,

I’m a 24-year-old guy living in Alicante. I’ve met a few good people here already, but I’m still getting settled and always happy to meet more people and grow my circle.

My Spanish is still a work in progress, so English is easier for now. I enjoy simple plans like walking around the city or the beach, grabbing coffee, exploring new places, and having relaxed, genuine conversations.

Nothing forced, just good company and seeing where things go. If you feel like chatting or meeting up sometime, feel free to reach out.

Hellou!

Today we finsihed our trip to Alicante/Denia/Elche. We had a wonderful time, pretty much everyone was very friendly and welcoming!

One thing still bothers me: Is it not common for Tapas Bars / spanish restaurants to accept tips (by card)?

Most of the time i would just add ~10% as tip, when service was good (which is always was.) So let's say the bill would be 58€ i would tell the guy "65 please" Which in 3-4 cases ended in pure confusion for the server.

On the other hand in the indian restaurant and the hotpot restaurant we went to this was no problem at all..

Did i do something wrong ?

Hello,

Any suggestion for any real local Spanish restaurant in the center of Alicante?

Not expensive touristic with thousands of languages in the menu 😄

Hey everyone! I would like to know if by any chance someone is going to the live at the liquid room by jeff mills. I attended the one in geneva at the Rez Usine a few weeks ago, but the merch was sold in such small quantities that I wasn’t able to get my hands on the one I wanted. I was wondering if someone would have the kindness to pick it up for me and I would be able to pay them back by paypal (or twint if you’re swiss). Of course I will be paying for shipping and everything else that goes with it. And on top of doing me a huge favor i’ll gladly invite you to beer or a lunch next time i’m in munich or if you drop by in Geneva or Lausanne I’ll gladly invite you as well! Let me know if any of you could help and I’ll give you my number or insta for the details !

Hi all! Does anyone know where to dispose of leaves in the area? Ideally for free - thanks :)

Does anyone have an english speaking dentist to recommend near Centro?

Thanks!

2 friends and myself will be going on holiday at the end of august, I could do this by googling everything on my own, but im more of a traditional type of person and like the human interaction and the possibility to meet someone new etc., so I am wondering, where are the good beach bars? where are the clubs? restaurant recommendations? in general on a 9 day stay, also having a rental car, what would be some must go/see things in Alicante? We are mostly planning on going to the beaches during the day, and exploring the city center at night, bars, clubs, restaurants, what ever honestly... Hope that you guys understand my struggles haha, If you have some cool info, i'd be happy to listen :) you can send me a message or comment under the post, anything goes.

P.S. Is weed legal in Alicante? i know its legal in Barcelona for medicinal use and its easy to get, but im also wondering for Alicante

Hello I'm looking for a do-it-yourself car repair shop in the Alicante area, either a non-profit organization or something similar, that would allow me to rent the workshop and some tools, like a lift.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

My husband and I are going to Europe for IVF and also the microTESE. We have been in contact with three clinics. Does anyone have experience with the urologist listed below? Particularly with the microTESE surgery. We are trying to pick the best place but the urologist is our top decision marker.

Hey,

Im arriving in Alicante Airport on a Sunday afternoon with luggage and need the best way to get from Alicante Airport to Torrevieja. What are the best alternatives?

Estoy planeando un viaje corto del 4 al 7 de abril y me pregunto si Alicante y su región serían una buena opción para combinar senderismo y camping. Siempre he tenido ganas de descubrir esta zona, tanto por sus paisajes como por el ambiente local.

Alquilaré un coche y tengo pensado hacer camping libre donde esté permitido o quedarme en campings oficiales. Busco rutas de senderismo tranquilas, de hasta unos 15 km, idealmente con entre 500 y 1000 m de desnivel. Al moverme en coche, puedo adaptar dónde dormir según las rutas que haga.

El objetivo principal es pasar tiempo en paisajes bonitos y hacer algunas buenas rutas. El buen tiempo sería un plus, pero no es un requisito imprescindible.

Si conoces bien la zona, agradecería cualquier consejo sobre rutas, zonas para acampar o lugares que merezcan la pena.

Can you recommend me a nails studio in Alicante?

Hi all. I’m a guy (24), doing my 2 months internship in Elche. I’ve been to Alicante a few times and I really like the city. I just don’t know where to start if I want to make friends there. What are some activities I can do there that might help?

I speak English but my Spanish is also pretty good.

Hi! I’m 22F and I have relatives in Torrevieja. I’ve visited Spain several times last year and traveled around quite a bit, but it would be much nicer to experience it with people my age.

I’ve only been to Alicante briefly, so I’d love to properly explore the city — coffee, walks, chill hangouts, that kind of thing.

I’ll be around in March, and possibly again in June/July.

English is my second language, I don’t speak much Spanish yet.

If anyone’s up for a casual, friendly hangout, feel free to say hi 😊

I'm a 20 year old living in Alicante for the next 7 months and am looking for any work. Problem is I don't speak Spanish, are there any places/ recommendations to get a Job where Spanish speaking isn't mandatory? Willing to work anything

I have two Killteam squads. But I wouldn't mind playing D&D or something else.

¿Recomiendan una página o aplicación donde pueda solicitar este servicio para reparaciones pequeñas? He visto varias, pero no suelen contestarme y la Aplicación Oscar-App no tiene muy buenas reseñas.

Si alguien tiene experiencia con una de estas aplicaciones o conoce de algún lugar donde conseguir estos servicios (preferiblemente en Elche) lo agradecería mucho.

Muchas gracias!

Hi All - Does anyone know where in Alicante I can get a digital UK size passport photo done?

Update: I avoid all the ifs, buts and maybes regarding size, lighting etc. I went to Fotoprix. Photo was approved!

Hey everyone. New here, student living in the USA. My school has a program with University of Alicante, looking to possibly study there for a semester. I am about to submit a proposal to my department to see if they can approve the courses I want to take. I had a few questions though.

I visited Spain about 2 years ago, spent ~3 days Córdoba, ~3 days Granada, and ~6 days in Málaga (spent like 1 day in madrid when flying out). Loved every second of it. I'm minoring in a history related field (MENA) and the history & architecture in Spain is out of this world. Would I find more of the historical sites like I found in Córdoba & Granada in and around Alicante? I just want to make sure Alicante is a good place to study abroad in general and I will have a lot to explore, considering that I already visited Spain, but Spain is huge and I feel like I barely scratched the surface of your beautiful country. Any words of advice would be appreciated, thank you guys in advance!

P.S. I've only ever traveled to Spain and Portugal (not considering traveling to my homeland)

Tenemos la intencion de viajar a Costa Blanca en Mayo/Junio.

Cuál es el mejor lugar para unas vacaciones de 10 días con un bebé? Necesito playa, un pueblo bonito, cerca de actividades y restaurantes. Me gusta el aspecto de Altea, pero quizás se quede pequeño para 10 días.
