Why go
Canalejas is most useful as a beautiful transition between the Explanada and Alicante’s southern waterfront. The enormous tree canopy changes the feel of the seafront, while the stone lions and monument to playwright Carlos Arniches give a short walk enough detail to merit slowing down.
What to look for
- Century-old ficus trees form a dense canopy over the promenade.
- Pairs of stone lions punctuate the park’s entrances and paths.
- The monument to Alicante playwright Carlos Arniches adds a local cultural reference.
Useful to know
- Plan 20 to 40 minutes rather than a long park visit.
- Use the park to connect the Explanada with La Lonja and the southern edge of the port.
- Its shade is especially useful during a hot waterfront walk.
