Alicante city has a growing English-speaking community, from people working in the city to owners of apartments by the beaches at San Juan and the Albufereta, and the airport just down the road makes it easy to come and go.
Homes in Alicante
Most people live in flats: in the centre, in the newer blocks along Playa de San Juan, and around the Albufereta. Cabo de las Huertas and Vistahermosa have detached houses with gardens, which need the garden-side doors covering as well.
Neighbourhoods
Every part of Alicante is covered. These are the areas we are asked about most, and what the homes there are usually like.
Flats in older and newer buildings around the Rambla, the Explanada and the streets below Santa Bárbara castle.
The long beach north of the city, lined with modern apartment blocks, many with communal pools and some used as second homes.
Between the centre and San Juan, with apartment buildings by a small beach and quieter residential streets behind it.
The headland between the Albufereta and San Juan, with detached houses, small coves and some of the city’s most sought-after homes.
A residential area of detached and semi-detached houses with gardens, popular with families.
Central neighbourhoods with apartment blocks where people live and work all year.
The right set-up
The free survey decides the final kit, but this is what we usually fit in Alicante, depending on the kind of home.
A city or San Juan flat is covered by the Kit Tranquilidad: entrance door, camera detectors, keypad and siren, with a sensor on any terrace or window within reach.
Terraced and semi-detached houses usually have front and garden doors and a roof terrace. Each gets a sensor, and a camera detector watches the main living area.
Detached houses in Cabo de las Huertas or Vistahermosa are best with the Plus kit and an outdoor detector, so the alert comes while someone is still in the garden.
Local advice
A flat in San Juan that is busy in August can be empty from October to May. Keep it armed and check it from the app.
An outdoor detector warns before anyone reaches a door, and every door to the garden gets its own sensor.
With the airport close by, many owners come for long weekends. Arm the alarm from your phone on the way to the airport.
Local guide
In Alicante we protect two quite different kinds of home: city flats where people live all year, and beach apartments in San Juan or the Albufereta that are busy in summer and empty for much of the winter. A third group, the detached houses on Cabo de las Huertas and in Vistahermosa, need a little more because of their gardens.
For a city flat, the entrance door is the main way in, so the Kit Tranquilidad covers most needs. For a beach flat, the terrace and the months of absence matter more: arm it when you leave in September and check it from the app until you come back. For houses with gardens, an outdoor detector gives the alert before anyone reaches a door.
Because Segurma has an office in Alicante and the airport is so close, installation is easy to arrange around a short visit. Tell us your dates when you ask for a quote and we will try to fit it in while you are here.
If you work in the city and travel often, the app is what you will use most. Arm the alarm as you leave for the airport, check its status from wherever you are, and disarm it for a neighbour who is watering the plants. Every arming, disarming and alert appears in the app with the time, so you always know what has happened at home while you were away, and who was there.
Living with an alarm in Alicante
Alicante is a working city, so most homes are lived in all year. The exception is the beach flats in San Juan and the Albufereta, which are busy in summer and often empty from autumn to spring, and city flats left for long trips back to the UK. Those are the months when a monitored alarm matters most.
Empty beach apartments and city flats left for long periods are both at risk from squatters. In Spain, if the police are alerted while someone is breaking in, they can act on the spot; once people have moved in, getting them out usually means going to court. A camera-verified alarm makes sure the alert goes out while it is still happening.
Alicante-Elche airport is about 20 minutes from the city, and Segurma has an office in Alicante. If you are away, a neighbour or family member can let the technician in. Installation is usually arranged within 1 to 5 days of signing up.
How it protects you
The same thing happens whether you are asleep in the UK or at the beach down the road.
A door opens or a camera detector picks up movement, and the images go to Segurma’s monitoring centre.
An operator looks at the images before anyone is called, so false alarms do not send the police to your door.
With the images as evidence: a report from a licensed security company, not a vague call from a neighbour.
The alert reaches your phone wherever you are, and the siren lets the intruder know they have been seen.
While you are away
Home security in Alicante has one week of the year all to itself, and it falls at the end of June. Picture your flat in Benalúa, a few streets from one of the hogueras, while you are in Bristol for a family wedding and the city stays out until dawn with bonfires, brass bands and firecrackers. Pepa, your cat, has stayed behind. The neighbour across the landing, a retired teacher who has lived in Benalúa all her life, has a tag and comes in each evening to fill her bowl and change the litter, and at the free survey the detectors were placed with Pepa in mind, so she has the run of the flat.
On the night of the cremà, when the bonfires go up all over the city, a rocket bursts just outside the balcony and Pepa shoots across the hall. Your phone buzzes in the middle of the wedding disco. At Segurma’s Alarm Receiving Centre an operator is looking at the images and listening to the sound: a cat, bangs from the street, nobody else in the flat. Nobody is sent. You step outside, open the IP camera you added at the survey, see Pepa flattened under the sofa with her ears back, and go back in for the last dances.
Now picture the other version of that night. With the whole of Alicante in the streets and firecrackers going off below every balcony, nobody in your building would hear a door being forced, and a flat with its shutters down right through the fiestas is easy to spot. The noise makes no difference to the operator. A person in your hall instead of a cat, and the police are alerted with the images while you follow it on your phone from the hotel. As it is, the next morning your neighbour comes in at the usual time, feeds Pepa, sweeps the ash off the balcony and sends you a photo of both.
For people who live in Alicante all year, that is what the alarm is really for: the few weeks when the flat has to look after itself. The rest of the time it asks almost nothing of you: a touch of the tag by the door on the way to work and an app you mostly forget is on your phone. When owners compare Alicante alarm systems, they tend to look at the equipment. What counts in a week like Hogueras is that the decision about your home is taken by someone who has seen and heard what is going on, not by a neighbour guessing whether that last bang was another firecracker. So you can enjoy the wedding in Bristol, and Benalúa can have its fiesta without you.
