OUIGO's secret advice

What do the city of Alicante and the Danish fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen have in common? Well, in 1863, the author of "The Little Mermaid" and "The Snow Queen" toured Spain and Alicante was one of the cities he visited and he was pleasantly surprised by the activity of the market, the nightlife and the port. Today, the city pays tribute to him with a route around the places he visited.
