Alicante (Alacant)
Getting Here and Around
Alicante has two train stations: the main Estación de Madrid and the local Estación de la Marina, from which the local FGV line runs along the Costa Blanca from Alicante to Dénia. The Estación de la Marina is at the far end of Playa Postiguet and can be reached by buses C1 and C2 from downtown.
The small TRAM train goes from the city center on the beach to El Campello. From the same open-air station in Alicante the FGV train departs to Dénia, with stops in El Campello, Altea, Calpe, and elsewhere.
