Located to the South-west of Alicante is Alicante Airport, the sixth busiest airport in Spain. Seen as the gateway to Costa Blanca, the area has a history as a Mediterranean port. Car hire from Alicante Airport will allow you to explore the large array of historic buildings on offer, as well as taking in the famed port. Hiring a car can help you keep cool during the summer months too, where temperatures soar above 30 degrees. You could also use it go celeb spotting, as Alicante hosts one of the largest film studios in Europe.
