Vive Alacant Español
For Alicante businesses

You don’t pay to be listed.
You can measure the visits Vive can verify.

You’re on Google Maps, in two directories and on a review site. And you still have no idea how many of the people who walked past came in because of it. Here, anyone with a Vive coupon brings a code — and you’re the one who types it in at the counter.

Free to join during the launch phase. No tie-in.

How many eyes are out there

Every year, 1.5 million people come through Alicante
looking for somewhere to eat, something to see and something to do.

Plenty of them decide as they go, phone in hand, in a city they don’t know. That moment — the “what now?” moment — is where Vive Alacant comes in.

Verified redemptions, not impressions

Every redemption has a code.
And you’re the one who types it in.

The customer generates the code

They open your listing in the app, tap “Use coupon” and get a six-character code that expires after ten minutes. One use only.

You redeem it at the counter

You type it into your portal on your phone. It’s checked instantly and the customer gets the green “Redeemed” badge.

It’s counted

Codes generated, codes redeemed and the date of the most recent one: visits verified by redemption — not impressions or reach.

You choose when

Fill Tuesday at five. Don’t give your margin away at two on a Saturday.

You pick the days and times your coupon is live, and how many you give out a day. The discount lands exactly on the slot you want to fill; outside that window the app doesn’t even show it — it tells the customer when to come back.

  • Your listing in nine languages — write it once in Spanish and we’ll translate it
  • Found by people nearby — on the map, with the real distance and your category
  • You’re part of the game — Passport challenges will be able to steer users towards your neighbourhood
  • You’re in charge — your own portal for your opening hours, photos and offer
“Create my route” screen: how much time you have, a Cruise stop switch, interests and how you’re getting around. Routes take people right past the neighbourhood’s businesses.
“Thirty-four Vive coupons were redeemed this month.” That’s what we can tell you.

Published figures as of 29 September 2026. Hand-picked content, every set of coordinates checked one by one and, for places, our own photos or openly licensed ones. If something isn’t confirmed, we don’t publish it.

The business network is only just getting going. That’s why joining is free during this phase.

Before you ask

The same four questions everyone asks.

How much does it cost?

Right now, nothing. Listing your business, running your coupon and publishing your events are all free while we build up our base of businesses. When paid plans come in, they’ll be for things you can already see working — like featuring your listing — and we’ll tell you first. You won’t find out from an invoice.

I’m already on Google and review sites. So why bother with this?

Google lists you when someone searches for you. Here, we recommend you as part of a route, in their own language, to someone who didn’t know you existed and is a hundred metres from your door. And at the end there’s a code that you redeem — the only way to know that visit came through us.

How much work does it take to keep it going?

Signing up takes a few minutes: name, phone number and what you do. You write your listing in Spanish and we translate it. After that, you only log in when you want to change your hours, upload a photo or redeem a code at the counter.

Can I download the app yet?

Not for the general public yet: it’s in testing with its first users and going through the publishing process on the App Store and Google Play. We’re telling you straight because we’d rather you came on board knowing that: businesses and events that sign up will be there from day one, so the app launches full of content instead of empty.

The visitors are already here. Now they need to find you.

A short form, a manual check and your listing joins the Alicante guide. No cost and no tie-in.
