     From its early years Alicante expanded on its coastal setting. The city served as a significant player in international trade and soon evolved into the third largest trading port in Spain. The growth was slowed down by the foreign invasions to the city with the 1691 bombing and war from 1701 to 1714. Despite wartime troubles, Alicante sustained itself through trade and farming in the Valencia region and earned the ranking of the provisional capital of the Land of Valencia.

     As soon as recovery began in the 19^th century, the small port city saw the first improvements to the cityscape with new boroughs in the area and railroads crossing the city. Today Alicante is closer to the big city comforts than sleepy trading post yet hasn't reached its point of perfection.
