Hello! That sounds like an exciting trip. Here are some travel tips for your visit to Alicante, Altea, and Benidorm:

Best Time to Visit:
The best time to visit Alicante and nearby areas like Altea and Benidorm is from April to June, and from September to November. During this time, the weather is pleasant, not too hot and not too cold.

Route and Accessibility:
Alicante has its own international airport - Alicante-Elche Airport. On arrival, you can take a taxi to Alicante city centre. To reach Altea and Benidorm, there are trains, buses and tram services available from Alicante. Car renting services are also available at the airport.

Accommodation and Booking:
The area offers a range of accommodations from luxury resorts to budget-friendly hostels. It's highly recommended to book your accommodations in advance, especially if traveling during the high season. Websites like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Expedia provide numerous options.

Clothing and Essentials:
Pack light, casual clothing for the warmer months, and don't forget your swimwear for the beach. In the cooler months a light jacket or sweater may be necessary. A good pair of walking shoes is also a must as the old towns of Alicante and Altea have cobbled streets. Do not forget your sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat.
