What are the best and worst towns in Alicante according to AI?

This is what happens if you ask ChatGPT, the AI, which is the best and worst town in the province of Alicante

Alicante is one of Spain’s most popular provinces, attracting visitors year-round with its beautiful municipalities nestled among mountains and along the coast, which boasts some of the country’s best beaches. With so many charming towns across the province, picking the best one can be a challenge. To get a definitive answer, we turned to ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence tool, to see which town it considers the best and worst in the region.

What is the best town in Alicante?

When asked about the best town in Alicante, ChatGPT initially offered a general response, saying that the province features many wonderful towns and that "there is no one objectively best town, as it depends on what you are looking for".

However, when prompted again, the AI eventually settled on Altea, calling it the best town in the province. According to ChatGPT, Altea stands out for its "charming character, stunning views, and an impressive old town," making it one of the most beautiful and popular towns in Alicante.

Along with Altea, ChatGPT mentioned several other towns as worthy of recognition for their own unique qualities. These include:

Guadalest: Perched on a mountaintop, this small yet picturesque town is renowned for its historic castle and panoramic views of the surrounding area.
Villajoyosa: Famous for its colourful houses and beautiful beaches, Villajoyosa is perfect for those looking to enjoy the coastline and local chocolate delicacies.
Jávea (Xàbia): A popular destination for its idyllic beaches and hidden coves, as well as its charming old town with narrow streets and peaceful squares.
Denia: A coastal town that offers a mix of traditional charm and modern amenities, with a picturesque harbour and medieval castle.
Cocentaina: An inland town surrounded by beautiful natural scenery and rich historical heritage, including its castle and monastery.

What is the worst town in Alicante?

When asked about the worst town in Alicante, ChatGPT's response was clear: "There is no worst town in the province of Alicante, as each town has its own charm and characteristics."

The AI further explained that what may seem like a downside to one person might be the ideal spot for another. While some smaller or less touristy towns may lack the infrastructure or fame of others, this doesn't make them 'bad' places to visit or live.

No matter how much you press, ChatGPT proves to be a true gentleman, politely refusing to label any town in Alicante as 'the worst'. Maybe there just isn't one and everywhere in Alicante is great!
