the most Beautiful street of Alicante, consisting of three avenues

One of the most beautiful and comfortable places for rest and walks in the city of Alicante is a street consisting of three avenues - Avenue Doctor Gadea Avenue Federico Soto Avenue and moor General (General moor).

These three prospectus are interconnected and form one long and green street, a beautiful pedestrian Boulevard in the middle.

On both sides of the Boulevard, high palm trees, installed benches for relaxing, playgrounds, flower beds with colorful flowers, fountains and buildings in the Spanish style.

At the sides of the Avenue stretch narrow Spanish streets with its many cafes and restaurants green areas, shopping center El Corte Ingles, and originates the main shopping artery of Alicante - Maisonnave Avenue (Avenida de Maisonnave). About shopping in Alicante, its shops, shopping streets and shopping centers we described in an earlier article, you can read it here.

Pleasure prospect originates from the Mediterranean coast and stretches to the intersection with the street Wenceslao Fernandez Flores. One Avenue blends in with the other, so much so that the naked eye didn't know where one street ends and another begins. So all three of the prospectus for the tourist turn into one long and wide, green and beautiful walking path.

We will walk through the avenues from the Mediterranean coast. So, from the sea we set foot on the Avenue Doctor Gadea (Dr. Gadea).

The prospect Gadea ends. Next originates the Prospect Federico Soto. On the right, between the two avenues, is surrounded by a lovely green area Sotelo Calvo (plaza Calvo Sotelo). The middle of the square lies the garden square. Located in the Park shady alleys and benches, decorative lanterns and cafe with snacks and soft drinks. In this place, in the 16th century, was located in Plaza San Francisco, which was renamed in the 20th century in honor of the politician, who died tragically in 1936 year.

If Park Calvo Sotelo still literally a dozen steps to the right, i.e. to delve into the winding Spanish streets, you will get to another beautiful, but not so green area of the Placa de la Muntanyeta. However, the lack of the abundance of greenery makes the Plaza de La Muntanyeta less important and picturesque.

On the square lies a small fountain, which rises from POS land.

Around this small area are concentrated the abundance of monuments of architecture and history, fit the youngest Catholic Church in Alicante.

Here is the building of the Ministry of economy and Finance in Alicante (Ministerio de Economia y Hacienda) in the same building there are various financial and provincial agencies, and the courts. For example, the representation of the regional economic administrative court of Valencia (Provincial Dependencia del Tribunal Economico Administrativo Regional de Valencia) and the State Agency for tax administration (Agencia Estatal de Administracion Tributaria).

Also on the square Muntanyeta nestled the youngest and modern in its architecture Catholic Church Alicante - the Church-God's Grace parish (Parroquia Nuestra Senora de Gracia).

This temple is included in the diocese of Orihuela-Alicante.

The Church is very attractive in appearance and decoration. Takes up almost the whole block. Indeed, in Alicante, the blocks are Mehanika in size. The most beautiful view of the Church has with the intersection of the streets of Jerusalem (carrer Jerusalem) and Felipe Berge (calle Felipe Berge). It is from here I see the high tower of the belfry of the parish of our lady of Grace with a clock on top. This is one of the highest towers in the region of Alicante, it can be clearly seen from many places in the city.

As you can see, Plaza Muntanyeta has a huge governmental, economic and religious significance.

Generally in Alicante, like many other cities of Spain, no matter where you turn, everywhere come across a Park, Plaza, Church, office building or just architectural heritage. So if we continue to walk a few steps to the left or right of the Avenue which is the focus of this article, you will get far in the "wilds" of the city. We're already distracted, so back to pleasure Avenue. And you, how are you going to Alicante, don't stick to the route, and just walk through the streets, turning here and there. I assure you, in the back streets of this Spanish city, you will see and discover a lot of unknown interesting places.

So, the Avenue Doctor Gadea ended and segued into the Avenue Federico Soto (Av. Federico Soto).

On the corner of Avenue Soto, on the left side of the square Calvo Sotelo, is a shopping Mall El Corte Ingles and originates from the main shopping street of Alicante - prospect Maisonnave, which we described earlier.
