Sit with us on our balcony as we leave the port of Alicante Spain on our way to Valencia during our transatlantic on Oasis of the Seas May 2024.
The Port of Alicante, located on the southeastern coast of Spain, has a rich history and serves as an important maritime hub for the region. The port has been operational since ancient times, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Bronze Age, around 5000 years ago. It has played a crucial role in the development of Alicante, facilitating trade, commerce, and cultural exchange throughout its history.
The port's strategic location along the Mediterranean Sea has made it a key point of connection between Spain and the rest of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Over the centuries, it has witnessed the rise and fall of various civilizations, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, and Moors, all of whom have left their mark on the region.
In more recent times, the Port of Alicante has undergone significant modernization and expansion to accommodate the growing demands of international shipping and cruise tourism. Today, the port is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and services, making it a preferred destination for both cargo and passenger vessels.
