Logo IES MH

The "Miguel Hernandez" High School of Alicante, the second Institute of Secondary Education built in the City 30 years ago, initially only for female students (for a long time known as “Instituto Femenino”), is located in the nucleus of traditional town,in the so-called Barrio San Blas, in what can be considered a classical area of the city.

The District of San Blas, a former rural heading, began to be consolidated as urban space in the middle of the nineteenth century, with the building of the Madrid Railway Train Station, in 1874 emerged as a core of compact housing, to provide accommodation for the workers of the railways ; its growth, with great popular taste, was slow until the sixties of our century; since then accuses development and a thorough renovation in its urban morphology and sociological identity, a result of growing immigration to the City.

Currently, the intense real estate phenomenon causes a compact and abigarrado, with blocks of 4 to 6 storeys high, excessive for the road width, which has radically altered its Urban appearance, originally formed by a low hamlet of family houses, of peaceful image, the lack of recreational, sporting, cultural and leisure facilities is made up by the proximity to the city center and the “Poligono de San Blas” area relatively well equipped.

The District has a population of 9,324 people, of whom almost 50% are immigrants mainly from Murcia, Andalusia, Castilla-La Mancha and the region of La Vega Baja Alicante; this immigrant population, most living more than twenty years in the neighbourhood, is fully integrated and embedded in the district social fabric, at the present time, this mostly working population, has been joined by a group of professionals and technicians, middle class, attracted by the proximity to the Centre, what gives San Blas a social balance, without the problems of social exclusion that affect other parts of the city.
The prospects for future growth are limited since the process of repairing traditional houses and the occupation of buildings spaces are well advanced.

In addition to the District of San Blas, the IES "Miguel Hernandez, along with the other traditional institute, IES" Jorge Juan, "extends its area of influence to what can be considered the centre of Alicante area, that as in other cities, brings together the main functions (commercial, financial, leisure, hospitality, administrative, etc.). besides being the favourite residence by professionals and executives of medium - and high-income.
