Racist experiences in Alicante?

I recently visited Alicante for 2 days driving from Murcia. On both days I experienced racial harassment while walking on the street (calling me names and shouting gibberish that they thought resembled the language they think I speak at me) and even racial profiling in what I assume is a well known restaurant (La Perícana) where a member of staff physically stopped me from leaving the upper floor of the restaurant because he thought I was going to dine and dash (I was going downstairs to meet my parents who were already paying the bill there).

I wanted to see if anyone has had any similar experiences living or visiting Alicante, because I have been to several other parts of Spain and I have never been treated this way. Just to clarify, both occasions were directed at me and my family by locals.
