SpainThe area around Alicante has been inhabited for over 7,000 years [1]. Some of the earlier settlements were made on the slopes of Mount Benacantil [1]. The Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca established the fortified settlement of Akra Leuké, in the mid-230s BC, which is generally presumed to have been on the site of modern Alicante [1]. Alicante is located in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea [1].
