Spain is one of the UK’s top tourist destinations. But where is the country’s sunniest city?
Search engine Holidu used a weather tracking website, World Weather Online, to work out the average number of hours of sun in cities across Europe.
One Spanish city took the top spot in Europe and could be the perfect destination for Britons looking to catch some rays.
Alicante was named the sunniest city in Europe with an incredible 359 hours of sun per month.
The city in Spain’s Costa Blanca is extremely popular with British expats and tourists for its beaches.
British tourists can enjoy meals and drinks at the marina in Alicante which even has a casino.
Alicante has a huge range of beautiful beaches. Playa San Juan is about eight kilometres from the city’s Old Town.
The stunning white sandy beach has crystal clear sea waters which are perfect for swimming and a lovely promenade.
Playa del Postiguet and Playa de la Almadraba also offer many amenities for tourists looking to enjoy sun, sand and sea.
