Parc de l'Ereta

This is a terraced urban park that connects the old town (El Barrio) with the hilltop fortress of Castillo de Santa Bárbara, offering panoramic views of the city and the sea. The name 'Ereta' refers to the historical area on the gentle slopes below the castle. Designed in the late 1990s and early 2000s by Jean Nouvel and Carme Fiol, the park blends Mediterranean vegetation with the natural contours of the terrain, creating a harmonious balance between nature and architecture.

Peaceful park with great walking paths and beautiful views of Alicante. Perfect spot to relax away from the busy city!

Absolutely stunning and breathtaking. Even without having to go up much, there are some of the most stunning views over Alicante, and plenty of views to see once you’re there, including fountains, flowers, trees, and the mountain range. Would definitely come back here from a hike!

It's a place with great potential, but it's totally neglected. One of the dirtiest public parks I've seen in Spain. Rubbish and feces everyone. Can't really enjoy the views, you are always looking at the patch of the ground in front of you.

Lovely park, with stunning views of castle and city skyline. Each terrace of garden seemed to have its individual planting scheme, but all seemed as one. Some secret little pathways created the sense of adventure. Had a drink on the balcony of restaurant, waitress was friendly.

A nice scalable park best on the way back from the castle.

Easy access from the city centre, you can go up to the castle from there.

Simply the best spot ..and secret location to enjoy at best the most beautiful landscape of Alicante ! ... a nice walk starting in Parque De La Ereta will bring you to discover the Castillo de Santa Barbara and the different points of view... including terraces and small gardens overlooking the Sea , the old part of the city...better known as Barrio... .and the blue Sky! Perfect location for those who loves taking stunning pictures.
