Then you have to take a Spanish course in Alicante!\u00a0The city\u00a0is full of international students and it\u2019s very easy to get to know to them, and not only in your language school. You only have to go out in the Barrio!<\/p>\n<p>Of course there are many \u201cbarrios\u201d but when you talk of THE Barrio then everybody knows what you mean. Although Alicante has about 320,000 inhabitants, it seems smaller because in the Barrio you always meet people you know.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->The Barrio is where parties start!\u00a0There are a lot of restaurants, pubs and discos for all tastes. For example don\u2019t miss\u00a0out on\u00a0the Mojito Bar (its real name is El Coscoron but only few people know this name and as you can drink very delicate Mojitos there, everybody says Mojito Bar). Inside you can\u00a0make yourself eternal\u00a0by writing your name on one of the high walls as hundreds of students\u00a0have\u00a0done\u00a0before.<\/p>\n<p>Another nice place is the Desden pub &#8211;\u00a0it\u2019s very popular with Erasmus students. The pubs in the Barrio usually close at 4 am, but don\u2019t worry you can continue in the Swing (disco) or at the port. There you can find a lot of discos with different style of music, so you can dance until sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you have already made friends and if you don\u2019t want to go out early, join one of the private parties. There will always be students you still don\u2019t know. And after having party you can relax at Postiguet beach&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Postiguet beach is situated very close to town and most of the locals are go there. If you fancy somewhere more off the beaten track, take the tram to the beach of San Juan which is spacious and very clean.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for shops?\u00a0The best places are Avenida Maisonnave, the smaller streets nearby if you are looking for stylish clothes, or the shopping centre Plaza Mar or Corte Ingl\u00e9s. There you can find a great variety of everything, but for those who don\u2019t mind and like everything on their doorstep, Mercadona is the best place to buy food and drinks.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to cook by yourself go out for dinner. You will find a good restaurant for sure. For example taste Paella in the \u201cBuen Comer\u201d (Barrio) or on the Explanada, Alicante\u2019s famous promenade.<\/p>\n<p>As dessert\u00a0why not have\u00a0a Horchata, the local delicacy Turr\u00f3n, or ice cream with turr\u00f3n flavour.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever you&#8217;re looking\u00a0for during your time at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.applelanguages.com\/en\/learn\/spanish\/spain\/alicante.php\">the school in Alicante<\/a>, whether you&#8217;re\u00a0a party animal looking for exciting nightlife or you&#8217;re interested in shopping or sightseeing, you will definitely enjoy your time in Alicante!<\/p>\n<p><em>Jennifer <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vamos al Barrio esta noche?!
