Alicante Gay Life
The gay life in Alicante is fairly discrete, and not very well signposted. That said, there is no lack of choice, and probably certainly enough for you to find something to suit you needs. The thing we found most difficult was the lack of publicity, with more than half the bars we visited not appearing on the gay maps of the city. Most gay bars are signed by little more than a postcard sized flag in the window.
