Vive Alacant
For those who live in Alicante and those coming to discover it

There's always something
left to discover in Alicante.

Find plans for today, events, places and businesses near you. Or tell us how much time you have and Vive Alacant builds a realistic route: what to see, in what order, and what time you'll be done. With audio guides and routes that adapt as you walk.

No sign-up required · In English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch.

Guide screen of the app: a card that builds a route around the time you have, featured routes such as the express cruise stopover, and an audio guide to listen to.
Start from wherever you are

What do you feel like doing?

I have a few hours free

Tell us where you're starting from and how much time you have. Vive Alacant plans a route that genuinely fits that time, and suggests the best order to do it in.

I'm looking for a plan for today

Places that are open, activities and events that fit the time of day, the weather and the part of town you're in.

I want to sort out the weekend

Exhibitions, plans with kids, free activities, food and corners of the city you may not know yet.

I'm arriving on a cruise

Tell us when you need to be back. The app builds a route from the terminal and keeps a safety margin to return to the ship.

Who it's for

One app, two ways to live Alicante.

If you're visiting

Make the most of your time without spending hours researching. Vive Alacant helps you choose what's worth it, organises the stops and stays with you along the way.

  • Routes for an hour, an afternoon or a full day
  • Audio guides while you walk
  • Real distances and real timings, not optimistic ones
  • A dedicated mode for cruise stopovers
  • The essentials, plus corners most visitors miss

If you live here

You don't need anyone to tell you where the Explanada is. You need to know what's on today, what's happening this weekend and which place deserves another visit.

  • Events and activities coming up
  • Free plans, plans with the kids, plans for a rainy day
  • Routes to rediscover neighbourhoods and nearby towns
  • New local businesses and experiences
  • Challenges and perks to keep exploring

Whether you've just arrived or Alicante is home, the app adapts to the way you want to live the city.

How it works

We don't hand you a list.
We build you a plan.

Tell us the context

Choose how much time you have, where you're starting from and what you feel like doing.

Get a possible route

The app checks distances, duration and the order of the stops, and tells you what time you'll finish.

Go walk it

Follow the trail, listen to the audio guides and let the app detect when you arrive at each stop.

Change it as you go

Drop a stop or skip a place: the route recalculates on its own, without starting over.

For example

"I've got three hours and I love food"

That's all it takes. The app works out what genuinely fits in that time and always includes the essentials. Arriving on a cruise? Switch on stopover mode: the route leaves from the terminal and gets you back to the ship with a 45-minute margin.

  • Starts from your current location, not from the centre by default
  • On longer routes it suggests where to stop for lunch
  • Adapts to your interests and to the time you have
Create-my-route screen: 2 h, 3 h, half-day or full-day selector, cruise stopover switch, interests and transport mode. Interface shown in Spanish; the app also runs in English.
Inside the app

A guide that walks with you, not a brochure you read before.

Websites, PDFs and booking portals inspire you before the trip. Vive Alacant goes with you while you walk the city, whether you live here or you're visiting. That's where the plan actually gets decided.

Alicante, today

What to do now, not just what to visit

Events today and over the next few days, plans for the weekend, free activities or plans with kids, and local businesses and experiences. All sorted by real distance from where you are.

  • Search by what you fancy: free, with kids, this weekend
  • Today's weather on the front screen, with the official alerts
  • If there's a heatwave, the app says so before sending you up to the castle
Discover screen of the app: Alicante temperature, high-temperature alert, today and weekend filters, categories and today's featured events. Interface shown in Spanish; the app also runs in English.
Narrated audio guide

The city, told while you walk it

No need to stand and read a long plaque in front of every monument. Listen to stories narrated by a real voice while the place is right in front of you: details and characters that explain Alicante beyond a date and a description.

  • Spanish and English professionally narrated; German, Dutch and French with your device's voice
  • Keeps playing with the screen locked, while you walk
  • Stays saved: works without coverage
Santa Bárbara Castle page with photo, visit duration, price, audio guide languages, player and text about the place. Interface shown in Spanish; the app also runs in English.
Route mode

Your route changes with you

Put the phone away and enjoy the walk. The app keeps track of your progress, detects by GPS when you reach each stop and, if you decide to skip a place, reorganises the rest of the route.

  • Drop or swap stops without rebuilding the route
  • Places, businesses and stops on one map, grouped by area
  • Progress travels with your account between iPhone and Android
Map of Alicante with places grouped in numbered clusters, museums, beaches and businesses marked.
Passport and challenges

Keep more than a list of favourites

The essential places leave a stamp in your Alicante passport, validated by GPS when you arrive. Complete challenges, discover new neighbourhoods and keep a record of the places you've come to know.

  • Challenges by category: beaches, food, nearby towns
  • A shareable diploma when you complete a challenge
  • Some challenges end in perks at participating local businesses
Passport screen with the grid of city-centre stamps and the list of active challenges with their progress.

Before the launch

Not in the stores yet. You can try it first.

We're opening the app to a small group of people ahead of its App Store and Google Play launch. If you'd like to be among the first, write to us and we'll send you an invitation.

Write to us to try the beta

A person answers, not a mailing list.

Your next plan may be closer than you think.

A free afternoon, an unplanned weekend or a first visit to Alicante. Tell us how much time you have and we'll help you turn it into something worth doing. Whether you live here or you're visiting, there's always something left to discover.
