“Friends, neighbors, and colleagues cheered me on continuously and gave me the strength to keep going.”

At the 2014 Alicante half marathon, they were moved by the support received while passing their home and familiar neighborhoods, and wrote that they had to make their way through the crowds to collect water after the finish.

Juan Carlos de Cabo BlascoRan in 2010 · Finish time 1:43:46

“I'd say it's a race worth putting on a runner's calendar.”

Juan Carlos de Cabo Blasco endured heat and humidity at the 2010 Alicante half marathon to finish in 1 hour, 43 minutes, 46 seconds. They enjoyed running with friends and praised the overall organization, while hoping for improvements to water provision at the final aid station and routing around the harbor.

Transit card

Móbilis

TAM Office, C/ Díaz Moreu 6 (La Rambla), Alicante; also sold at kiosks and other authorized TAM points of sale Not accepted at the gates — get the local card above

Alternative: TAM Tourist Card €13 (24h) / €16 (48h) / €18 (72h) — Worth it if taking multiple tram + urban + intercity bus trips over 1-3 days (also includes one Turibus ride). Not worth it for a single one-off ride — just tap your card on the airport C6 line instead.

The TAM network covers Alicante city, Playa de San Juan, Campello, and the airport line. Contactless bank-card tap-to-pay is being expanded but as of early 2026 is still limited to touristic lines (Turibus, C6 Aerobus), not the whole network — don't assume you can tap everywhere.

Confirmed by user reports as recently as January 2026 that you cannot tap on the tram or ordinary buses.
