YES, you absolutely do need a Tourist License before you can even legally advertise your property as a holiday let. Criteria for the property is included in the link above. Not all properties qualify.
Stage one is to obtain your certificate of compatibility from the Town Hall. You have given your location as La Marina and it is rare to be granted permission now on the urbanisation, but worth asking. If you cannot get the Certificate then you cannot apply for the License and you cannot legally do holiday letting.
Second is the application itself to the office for tourism in Alicante. This takes a couple of months, again assuming all paperwork is in order.
Once you have your License you buy you official plaque and official complaints forms, obtain login codes to register your guests on arrival and take out appropriate holiday let and public liability insurance.
You can mage the rentals yourself using a local keyholding and cleaning business for checkin, checkouts, cleans and emergency cover, or you can hand it over to an agency.
Tax on rental income for non-residents is payable quarterly. If you live in the EU then it is 19% after a few allowable deductions, but if you live outside the EU then the tax is a straight 24% of the rental income.
