I tried walking from the Alicante cruise port to Old Town without spending anything… and got completely lost along the way. Here’s what it’s really like to walk Alicante from the cruise ship, including Old Town, Mushroom Street, Holy Week surprises, and whether it’s worth doing on your own. On this Harmony of the Seas transatlantic port day, I tested one of Europe’s most walkable cruise ports to see what you can do for free from the ship. If you're cruising to Alicante and wondering whether you can explore on your own without an excursion, I hope this helps you decide if it’s something you’d want to do too. 🧢 Shop the barely packed gear I wore in this video 👇🏻 https://barely-packed.myshopify.com (That hat travels with me almost everywhere.) 🎥 Watch the full Harmony of the Seas Transatlantic series here 👇🏻 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVpgXoLEwxkVDPyixXR_BRDUnYxU1-FSl&si=t6ET9fzQD_qcavZh 🎥 More videos in this transatlantic series coming soon — subscribe @barely-packed and come along for the adventure. ————————————- 00:00 Getting Lost in Alicante? 00:32 Walking From the Cruise Port 02:40 Google Maps Goes Wrong 04:04 Unexpected Holy Week Discovery 05:27 Alicante Old Town & Mushroom Street 11:48 Final Thoughts + Next Port —————————————— #AlicanteCruisePort #CruisePortWalk #HarmonyOfTheSeas #CruiseVlog #SpainCruisePort #WalkableCruisePort
