Benalúa is one of Alicante's most characterful neighbourhoods: born in the late 1800s as a garden suburb, it keeps its elegant grid, quiet streets and a long-established community ten minutes' walk from the city centre and the train station. Next door, Florida and Babel offer more affordable homes with tram and commuter-rail links.
Living in Benalúa
Stately early-20th-century buildings mix with 1960s-70s blocks and the odd new development. The neighbourhood has a life of its own — market, street commerce, schools, the Benalúa park and a thriving food scene. People buy here to stay, which explains the chronic shortage of homes for sale.
