Native. Hello, my name is Vicky, I am a traveler. I have traveled the world looking for new experiences with the backpack in tow. I have worked many years as a tourist entertainer and now I am finally an official guide and I can fulfill my dream. Now I am the one who wants you to enjoy your experience in Alicante. Therefore, I propose a different tour with which you can discover the city through its legends and its history. I put all my passion on each tour so that you can have a good memory.
Contemporary Alicante of the 20th century: Modern Times.
Since the 19th century, Europe underwent intense political changes that affected the society and economy of the time.
With the Disaster of 98 and the losses of the Spanish colonies overseas, Alicante was involved in great changes that divided the society of the moment into two different worlds that turned their backs on each other: On the one hand, the people of Alicante followed maintaining their traditions, marked by religion✝️ and on the other hand the labor movements were rising 👷♂️ and new liberal thoughts emerged📜.
The revolts gave way to a new Constitution and a first Republic and the city of Alicante was modernized👯♀️
and the Cafes, Casinos and Party Rooms that frequented the French Bourgeoisie, which ended up settling on the warm coasts of Alicante, emerged🏖️. The Crazy 20s began‼ ️
On this tour you will discover the modernist architecture of Alicante and the public works that gave the city a more modern air. You will learn about the labor movements that took place, the disasters of the civil war, the post-war period, migrations and how the city lived in those crazy 1920s.
It is a different and interesting tour that shows another side of the city.
We will start at the tourist office in the port of Alicante. We will visit the city that grew towards Westeros in the first half of the 19th century.
It is a two hour circular tour.
