It was occupied by the Moors until the late 13th Century. In the Spanish Civil War it was the last Republican loyalist city to be occupied by Franco.
In the 1980's, Alicante's port went into industrial decline however in recent years it has cemented itself as a top destination for tourist cruises. In fact the city has become known as a top tourist destination with visitors attracted to the city for it's beautiful beaches and pleasant climate.
