Santa Bárbara Castle

03002 Alicante, Spain

Santa Bárbara Castle is perched above the city atop the rocky outcropping of Mount Benacantil. To get to the unbeatable views, either walk or drive up the winding road or take an elevator from Postiguet Beach. The castle is free to visit—the Homage Tower, the chapel and the hall of Felipe II are all impressive—but most visitors come to enjoy the views and the breeze.
