"Expats in Alicante often join a variety of clubs and activities to meet new people and immerse themselves in the local culture. These include language exchange groups, where they can practice their Spanish and help locals with their English. They also participate in sports clubs such as football, tennis, or golf, which are popular in the area. There are also several social clubs specifically for expats, such as the International Club of Alicante, which organizes regular events and outings. For those interested in the arts, there are theater groups, art classes, and music ensembles that welcome expats. In addition to clubs and activities, expats often meet people through their work, their children's schools, or their neighborhood. Many also attend local festivals and events, which are a great way to meet locals and learn about Spanish traditions. Expats also use online platforms and social media groups to connect with others in the Alicante community. Websites like Meetup or Internations are popular for finding local events or groups with similar interests. Volunteering is another excellent way for expats to meet people and give back to the community.
