Today's essentials

ADDA hosts 'Natura' symphony on 27 Nov, seats from 40 euros. Alicante's ADDA auditorium will host the 'Natura, Naturaleza, vida y amor II' symphonic concert on Friday 27 November 2026 at 8pm, with tickets priced at 40, 47 and 55 euros already on sale, according to AlicanteOut.

Weather today

Grey, showery Friday across the Costa Blanca. Open-Meteo expects an overcast day in Alicante on Friday 18 September 2026, with temperatures between 19 and 27 degrees and a high 68 percent chance of rain.

In Alicante city, Open-Meteo has the mercury moving between 19 and 27 degrees under a heavy grey sky, with that 68 percent rain probability and only light winds up to 16 km/h. It is a day to keep a compact umbrella or a light rain jacket in your bag, and to expect damp pavements rather than a downpour that never lets up.

Inland around Villena the morning opens with fog and cooler readings, 14 to 24 degrees and just a 20 percent chance of rain, so visibility on early drives may be poor. On the southern coast, Torrevieja mirrors Alicante's 19 to 27 degrees but with scattered showers near 48 percent and stronger gusts of up to 23 km/h. All told, it leans more towards a museum or terrace-under-cover afternoon than a full day on the sand.

Transport & traffic

• Flash flood shuts the Camí de la Bota in Dénia. A short but heavy cloudburst flooded several streets in Dénia and forced authorities to close the Camí de la Bota, according to La Marina Plaza. The access to the town centre from the CV-725 was among the worst-hit points, snarling traffic as water pooled quickly on the road. If you are driving in the Marina Alta today, La Marina Plaza's account is a reminder to allow extra time and to check for alternative routes into Dénia, since these sudden autumn squalls can leave low-lying stretches waterlogged within minutes and reopen only once the water drains.

What's changing for you

• World Alzheimer's Day on Monday, and a call for better care. World Alzheimer's Day falls on Monday 21 September under the slogan 'NO is no longer an answer', and the Colegio de Enfermería de Alicante is calling for the latest scientific advances to reach people living with Alzheimer's, according to elperiodic. If someone close to you is affected, it is a good moment to ask your local health centre or nursing team which newer care approaches and support services are available in the province, and to note the date on Monday for any awareness events or information points that may pop up around it.
• Alicante farmers threaten protests over diesel prices. TodoAlicante reports that Alicante's farmers have warned the national government they will stage mobilisations unless it reins in the rising price of diesel. The practical takeaway for drivers is simple: fuel-linked farming protests tend to bring tractor convoys and slow-moving traffic onto provincial roads and access routes. If talks stall in the coming days, keep an eye on local traffic alerts before setting off on longer trips.
