Hola buenas noches, alguien sabe si en Alicante se hacen algún evento o zonas en las que puedan se reúnan gente que colecciona cartas de Pokémon aparte de las pocas tiendas de cartas que hay? Me gustaría poder asistir a algún evento o algo donde se puedan intercambiar o hayan puestos para comprar cartas.
Acabo de empezar hace relativamente poco en el hobbie y por eso no conozco a nadie de por aquí.

Hola, soy un chico joven y he escuchado que en ciudad de la luz se reúnen para mostrar sus coches, reunirse entre varios conductores y apasionados por el tema

Me gustaría saber más información si alguien tiene, horas punta donde hay más gente, horarios, es buen sitio para conocer gente y si realmente vale la pena

Y por supuesto quien este interesado que me escriba para vernos en el sitio algún dia y conocer gente

Hi! Just married couple here! Today we're leaving to Spain.

We heard a lot about pocket thieves. Did Spain people or tourists take with themselves phones to the beach?

Digan las mejores formas de hacer networking en Alicante, sitios, eventos, reuniones

El trabajo generalmente se encuentra más en enchufes que en webs de búsqueda de empleo.

Me interesa el campo de Actividades Comerciales Ventas y Audiovisuales, y creo que deberíamos aprender esto antes de en que plataformas cargar CVs

Quién pueda aconsejarme seria de gran ayuda

Hi all, I appreciate this isn’t the Benidorm subreddit but it seems a bit busier here and hopefully there are some who can answer my questions

I’m staying in Benidorm for 4 nights towards the end of September I’m just wondering if anyone can recommend any vegan food in the area.

Happy cow and other websites seem a bit dated and I’m hoping some people who may have been recently can help out.

Thank you all!

Si teneis visibilidad del Maigmo desde vuestra casa, y teneis unos prismáticos, fijaros lo que pasa todas las noches a partir de las 12 - 1 de la madrugada, justo encima y un poco a la izquierda del maigmó. Llevo dos años viéndolo prácticamente todas las noches (sobre todo en verano). Y no, no son fuegos artificiales, ni drones, ni aviones ni satélites, ni coches en el balcón de Alicante. Son esferas de luz que salen por detrás del maigmó y van en todas las direcciones, cambiando rumbo y "bailando" entre ellas. Si os gustan este tipo de cosas "paranormales", os invito a que lo veais por vuestra cuenta. ;) Un saludo!

Hi, we are in alicante next month to spend a few days in the city, play some golf at el plantino and then drive down to seville to fly back to UK. Are there any car hire companies in the city you can recommend? I had such a bad experience with gold car at alicante airport 4 months ago that I would never use them again. And I expect all the other airport companies are operating similar sharp practices as insurance upselling, finding 'new' scratches etc so Id rather not hire from the airport.

Whats wrong with signals at the airport? All i got is 4g at full signal but network does not work at all. I got same issue last year, I am connected to vodafone ES. Anyone have some tips how to fix it or is it vodafone fault?

Good day all,

I will be visiting Torrevieja end of september for a week. I reckon the weather will be nice around this time and was wondering if there are still any beaches with any rental sunbeds. I'm staying to close to Playa del Cura, I don't think I see any. I visited La Mata in the past and know they have some, but is the place still open in september?

Thanks in advance!

Estoy pasando unas vacaciones en Alicante y quería saber si estos clubes de cannabis permiten la entrada y la compra únicamente con el pasaporte o si es necesario presentar algún documento específico.
¡Muchas gracias!

Tengo 12 años viviendo en Alicante y en Mutxamel.

Quisiera saber si las comparsas son muy cerrados. Destinado solo a su familia extendida y amigos muuuy cercanos.

Vamos, gente de toda la vida y sus hijos. O por el contrario son bienvenidos quienes quieran integrarse.

Hay posibilidad normal de alguien de fuera entrar y disfrutar las fiestas desde dentro??

O estoy destinado a solo aplaudir desde la barrera?

Necesito que me recomendéis algún dermatólogo o tricólogo bueno en Alicante que no sea un vendedor de humo. Especialista en alopecia androgenica/efluvio telógeno.

Ya fui el año pasado a una clínica porque tenía muy buenas reseñas pero me quisieron vender una historia de láser por 4000 euros.

No me fio de coger otra cita y que no sirva para nada.

This sub has been useful to me for general Alicante info, so I thought I would document some quirks in getting around Alicante for visitors. We rented an apartment adjacent to the L4/L5 tram stop so we focused virtually all our travel on trams, and also used the C-6 bus to and from the airport several times.

Apps:

Google Maps generally sucks, has issues with tram & bus stop locations and tram lines in general. Moovit isn’t any better. The official Tram D’Alacant app is totally useless. We used Google Maps for general getting around despite it sucking, it sucked less than others we found.

The “loop” issue.:

Alicante has two transit loops that the apps cannot deal with ; the L4/L5 tram loop near Playa San Juan and the C-6 airport bus loop around the city center. The problem is rooted in the fundamental need to show the direction of travel of tram or bus. So they show the “final” stop location of the line, for example Pl. La Coruna for L5 tram, but the tram doesn’t terminate there, it keeps going around the loop back to the original start point. Since our tram stop was Platja de San Joan, Google could not show how to go downtown on the tram from our stop, it wanted us to walk 15 minutes to Holanda. (And it completely misses the L4 line in entirety). The C-6 bus is a bigger problem for many tourists, it shows the destination as Porta Del Mar. As an example how Google Maps screws this up, suppose you intend to go to the Mercado stop from the airport. Google will have you get off the bus at Porto Del Mar, then walk 15 minutes to Mercado. This is wrong, you just stay on the bus and it drops you off at Mercado.

Stop location errors:

There are two grievous errors we found in Google Maps. It shows the C-6 bus stopping at the main train station, it doesn’t. It stops about 100-200 meters on the other side of the road just east of the station. (And the city missed in putting the purple C-6 sign on the pole facing the station, it only shows on the other side of the pole). On the L-5 tram line, Google totally is messed up on the La Marina location, it is off by 100-200 meters, the actual location is to the east past the FGV building.

Stop name language:

There is no consistency in stop names with various apps, maps, signage etc between the Castilian and Valencian stop names. Many tourists get tripped up by this, we helped out several tourists find their stop. For example, we stayed adjacent to the Av. Benidorm/ Platja San Joan tram stop, many maps show it as Playa San Juan, or Av. Benidorm, whereas the tram only shows it in Valencian.

Bono card on C-6

If you are a couple arriving in Alicante and using the C-6 bus for both arriving and departing (or a family of 3-4), don’t buy individual tickets! Just buy the 10 trip bono card from driver, it is a lot cheaper! Same goes for trams and city buses, get the (separate) bono card.

Hey y’all.
I’m going to Alicante in a week with my girlfriend for the first time ever and i’m very very excited!🤗
We’ve heard a lot about the street markets, but I was wondering: do any of them sell fake versions of brands like Supreme for instance?
That’s it, short post😅
Thanks in advance!

Hey everybody! I'm here in Alicante and I will be living here until mid-February. I've got a low-to-mid b1 level of Spanish.

I was wondering if anybody knew of any good cannabis clubs in the area that mostly had Spanish speakers in it? I was hoping to use them as a sort of Spanish-language immersion while I'm here as I am aiming to improve my Spanish to high b2-low c1 while I'm here.

House techno funk, el lote, cualquier recomendación para raves underground

hiii, are there stores in Torrevieja/ Orihuela Costa that sell English pokémon cards or boxes?

Hello everybody, I'll be visiting in September and in addiction to the classic destinations I was looking for something more "dark", like crypts, ossuaries, wunderkammers or cool cemeteries. I already took a look at the atlas obscura site, and I'll be moving around with public transport, so, all tips welcome, if possible, to places accessible by bus/tram, trains. Thank you very much!

Hello all, we are stag party and will be visiting in October. I know that sometimes stag groups are not welcomed. Just wondering are there any locals who provide a minder style service. Where they can come around with us, not joining in, but just keep us on the right track with places to go and make sure that anybody who needs to go home can get home safe safely. I’m not looking for a security style, I’m more talking about Connect to just hang around on the fringes. Someone who was working in pubs et cetera.

El trasporte público de la ciudad y las interconexiones con ciudades vecinas son muy eficientes en alicante, sumado a la sobre población de autos, la gente termina usando siempre el transporte publico para moverse.

Ni hablar de las pocas motos que hay teniendo en cuenta que nunca llueve, casi siempre hace bien clima. Aún así, la gente sigue comprando autos y utilizando las pocas plazas disponibles.

Hello!

Ill be visiting the city this year and i wanted to ask if anyone had recommendations for vegan restaurants and maybe stores that have a good selection of vegan products.

Thank you!
