Spain with a difference: start at Alicante airport
Discover Spain’s popular Mediterranean coast in a hire car. Alicante airport is a good starting point. Start your trip from Alicante Airport, in the southeast of the country. Alicante Airport (ALC) is close to the sea and offers numerous opportunities for car excursions.
Alicante Airport is a good place to pick up a hire car from the TUI Cars car rental partner firm and then explore the east of Spain flexibly at your pace. The port city of Alicante is 15 kilometres from the airport and is a good stopover on an exciting trip.
Along the Mediterranean coast by car: Alicante Airport to Tarragona
Travel independently and comfortably along the Spanish Mediterranean coast in your hire car. Alicante Airport can serve as a starting point for a trip to Tarragona. From Alicante Airport you drive to Valencia, then continue to Tarragona. Tarragona is also on the coast and can be reached via the toll AP-7 motorway that follows the coast. From Alicante it’s a four-hour-drive to Tarragona, so you may want to stop for a break in Valencia.
It is advisable to visit both cities by car. Tarragona, too, is a good venue for appreciating Spanish culture and history. For instance, you can visit the fascinating remains of a Roman wall and Roman circus.
