There is a lot more to this exciting city other than beach life: it's a great place for people who love culture and art. This is that place you thought was only to be found in your dreams.

The main theatre of Alicante, known as El Teatro Principal, is situated in close proximity to the well known Rambla Nunez Mendez avenue. This neoclassical building, with its six doric columns, will impress you. When it first opened its doors in 1847 it was unique in all of Spain. The interior has a horseshoe shaped hall that gives it that feeling of spaciousness due to its curves. When you add this to the Italian decorations you end up with an amazing place where they host important cultural events such as ballet, theatre and opera shows each and every night.

The other theatre that is well worth a visit is the smaller Theatre of Amiches. Even though it is smaller than the Teatro Principal Theatre, it is ever so comfortable and exudes a feeling of privacy. This theatre is situated in the well known Estrella Square. This theatre, with its dark interior, immediately gives you a feeling of complete relaxation as soon as you enter this special place. You will find that this theatre is more cosmopolitan in its approach to the performances given here by both beginners and professionals alike than its competitor, the Main theatre.
