A Decent Day Trip

#myhiddengems Alicante may not have much to offer or lure you. But I think it makes for a nice day trip or even overnight. Alicante has all the comforts of a sunny holiday destination. Certain cheap flight deals do cause for an excessive British holiday goers. From experience, especially the younger ones tend to be a little too wild. Having said so, there are so many places to visit in Alicante and cool places to hang out. The old town remains a subject of my interest on most European destinations. It is like a story board of history with the likes of San Nicolas de bari cathedral, the town hall, la plaza de Santa faz, contemporary arts museum, Santa Cruz quarters and so many such points to keep you interested through the day.#alicante #spain #valenciatravel #summer #travel #hiddengem

Good for a weekend

#myhiddengems So Alicante tends to get overshadowed by these resort towns around it. But on its own too it has the potential to offer you an authentic experience. I have spent a weekend there and between the food and old town there was enough for me. It does recive a lot of holiday tourists from nearby countries or even Britain for that reason. And it offers daytrips possibilities to lot of othe places. There are several towns and villages within reachable distances and each with its own charm. For instance i visited the town of Elche. This place comes alive every evening in the long summer and it really buzzes. Alicante itself is a beautiful city with a marina that is breathtaking. Tapas bars, restaurants and hotels everywhere. Sitting above the city is the imposing Castillo Santa Barbara. This is worth a visit if only for the views from the top and is accessed via lifts from the main street opposite the marina. Up the coast there is Benidorm, Calpe, Havia, Moraira. Drive south to Guardamar, Torrevieja, Santa Pola. The list goes on. All these places are within ten minutes to an hours’ drive from Alicante. #europe #summerdestinations #alicante

Sun-kissed Horizons in Alicante

#falltrip #Alicante # Alicante cast its spell with sun-kissed horizons and a vibrant energy that captivated my soul. Exploring the labyrinthine streets, I stumbled upon hidden tapas gems where each bite was a culinary revelation. The Castillo de Santa Bárbara, perched majestically on a hill, whispered tales of centuries past as I traced its ancient walls. The panoramic views of the Mediterranean below were a breathtaking reward for the ascent. Wandering through the historic Barrio Santa Cruz, the charm of colorful houses and blooming bougainvillea created a picturesque setting. Locals shared stories in bustling markets, adding a personal touch to the city's warmth. A lazy afternoon on Postiguet Beach provided a perfect blend of relaxation and Mediterranean vibes. The sound of waves, the scent of salt in the air – it was a serene escape from the bustling city. Alicante, with its fusion of history, culture, and coastal allure, left an imprint on my travel memories. It wasn't just a destination; it was a sensory journey through flavors, stories, and the undeniable magic of this Spanish coastal gem.

#alicante - another pearl on the Mediterranean coast of Spain part of the community of Valencia. Very colorful and beautiful place with old castle on the hill and huge yacht marina in the sea. Also there is semi-tropical garden not far from the city centre. #spain #happynewyear
