Our take: October in Alicante is honestly one of the best months to visit—you're looking at beautiful mild weather (18–24°C) with minimal rain and over 10 hours of daily sunshine. The climate is perfect if you're keen on beach time without summer's intense heat, or if you prefer exploring the old town comfortably on foot. Pack layers just in case, but you'll mostly be reaching for sunglasses and sunscreen.
