Question 2

Is Alcoy walkable?

Accepted Answer

Alcoy’s old centre is compact but hilly, with bridges and stairs. You can walk between Plaça d’Espanya, the Modernist buildings on Sant Nicolau, Llotja de Sant Jordi, and the Archaeology Museum, though some climbs are steep.

Local buses help with gradients: lines L1, L2, and L3 link the centre with Viaducto, Batoi, and Zona Nord. For Font Roja or Serra de Mariola, you will need transport.

For comfort on hills or to reach the nearby parks, consider a private tour with transportation included, such as a private tour in Alcoy.
