Where to stay in Sant Joan d'Alacant
Sant Joan d'Alacant is a small town, so your best bet is staying in the Town Centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the street market. Alternatively, nearby Alicante city has a much wider choice of hotels and is just a short drive or bus ride away.
If you want to stay close to the action without being right in the centre, look at options along the San Juan Beach Area, which puts you near both the market and the coast. It's a practical base that keeps your options open for the rest of your trip.
