Where to stay in Urbanova
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Two districts, two municipalities. Urbanova belongs to Alicante and Arenales del Sol to Elche, yet the pair stand within a short distance of one another, which makes the choice between them a matter of which city the room is registered to. Alicante is the fuller option.
The city centre stands well back from Urbanova, so a stay in the district itself trades nearness to Alicante's own streets for quieter ground.

About Urbanova
What are the main landmarks in Urbanova?
Not one landmark is entered under Urbanova. No church, no tower and no museum appears on the district's record, which leaves Alicante to supply every named monument a visitor would otherwise attach to the place. Arenales del Sol is the same.
Both districts are recorded as ground and name only, with the Comunitat Valenciana above them and their two municipalities in between.
What is the history of Urbanova?
The file holds no year to start from. Urbanova's file gives a name and a position and stops, without a charter year, a founding event or any later date to hang a sequence on. Alicante carries the recorded past instead.
Whatever happened on this ground belongs to the municipality's account of itself, and to Spain's register of municipalities rather than of their outlying districts.
Where is Urbanova?
Urbanova sits out from Alicante's built-up centre, north of Arenales del Sol and inside the Comunitat Valenciana.
