kht1468 Says: The Alcoy Moors & Christians Festival is one of the biggest in Spain and not to be missed if you are around Alcoy in late April.The costumes are amazing, and the whole city gets involved. Parades can be very long, (hours worth!) so go prepared with a cushion and a camera...

AC Ciutat d'Alcoi: It's Pretty Nice...
dinamcb Says: The AC in Alcoy opened a couple of years ago - but this was the first time I've stayed there. We actually booked our accomodation online ahead of time - but walking in off the street is decidedly an option, as well. This hotel is largely used by business people and I doubt...
Hotel Reconquista: Just Like Home...
dinamcb Says: I've stayed at the Reconquista several times. It's got a lot going for it. Probably one of the best features being that the staff are warm, kind, friendly - even when language causes an impasse! LOL!I like that the parking is secure - even if it is kind of a pain in the butt...
Jardin de Rosas: Chinese in Small Town Spain
dinamcb Says: Figuring out the whole when restaurants ARE and AREN'T open in a Spanish town can be a little daunting to an American who is used to 24/7 access to pretty much everything. I guess that's part of the reason why I love Chinese in Spain! They're almost always open - even during...
Tasca Sonora: Really Great Tapas!
dinamcb Says: My friends who live in Alcoy recommended this restaurant to me, but were not able to accompany me. I am a non-Spanish speaker (my bad) so I always start conversations with "Habla Inglais, por favor?" There was a pretty definite "No." to my question. A little more unsettling...
Restaurante Nueva Saltera: Get the Lamb!
dinamcb Says: This is probably the largest restaurant in Alcoy - well, on the road into Alcoy, just adjacent to the brick factory. It's always packed. It's got a HUGE dining room, and a HUGE outdoor seating area for warmer weather.The food is just downright good. The servings are more...
All over the city: Spanish food all the way
benidormone Says: In the historic city center of Alcoy, you find lots of Spanish restaurants and Tapa Bars. Also other types of food of course. Its fun to eat or drink outside at a square and to enjoy the sun and watch the people go by.
dinamcb Says: The local bus system in Alcoy is GREAT. Easy to use (even for a non-Spanish speaker like me!), affordable - okay, let me amend that - SUPER affordable, and really wonderfully thought out. You can get just about anywhere in Alcoy on the bus - in a timely manner.I love that...
Ex Libris: Need a new road map?!
illumina Says: We desperately needed a better scale (and more up-to-date) road map, so stopped in Alcoy to try to find one. Ex Libris came up trumps with quite a few to choose from, downstairs in the academic department. Friendly staff too.It was fairly easy to find, as it was just down...
benidormone Says: Like everywhere in Spain? Alcoy has a big Mercado (market) building. Here you can buy all the fresh food that you need if you want to cook your own meal.
benidormone Says: In the month September a big religous celebration takes place in Alcoy. A huge parade is going through the streets at that time.

This was my eighth trip back to Alcoy. As with previous trips - I always have the sense that I've returned home. How could I not? This is the place where my life was saved. Many friends have been...

We managed to get very very lost in Alcoy - twice! The second time, we stopped and bought a better road map, which still didn't help all that much, and neither did my attempts at asking two ladies the...
