Explanada de España o Paseo de la Explanada de España is a promenade in the city of Alicante running parallel to the port from Plaza Puerta del Mar to the park of Canalejas. It was built during the first half of the 20th century on an old dock and it is made of about 6.5 million small marbel tiles in blue, red and white drawing a colorful mosaic floor. The promenade is bordered by four lines of palm trees, two on either side, along its 500m. Explanada de España gathered a great number of businesses and dining places around being one of the most popular and crowded streets in the city.
