Alicante holds a winter score of 5 out of 5, and January shows what it is made of. Not the weather: 12 °C by day is chilly. It is the university, the port, the market, a hospital 6 minutes away and 5 international schools that run in January exactly as they do in June. On the Costa Blanca only Alicante holds the top winter score among all the places on that coast in our base. In the others part of what works in summer closes for the winter.

The winter column is a 1-to-5 score: how many cafés, hotels and shops run in January compared with the best month of the year. Where a village has no government figure of its own, it is our estimate. Tourists never notice; anyone who moved does.
Rain days and humidity are annual here, not monthly: 34 rainy days a year, 65% humidity in winter. We have no monthly normals yet and will not invent a split.
