• Alicante

    March 22 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 59 °F

    Day 2 on Carnival Dream heading to Galveston, TX 🇺🇸.

    We ported in Alicante 🇪🇸, for a sunny half-day escape! Skipped the castle hike and tour but crushed the chill 3 mile waterfront loop. 🌞

    Our Highlights:

    • Strolled Playa del Postiguet ⛱️ with those perfect sea breezes and promenade vibes.
    • Paraded down the stunning palm-lined Explanada de España – pure mosaic magic.
    • Caught a local pregon/exaltation show: lovely women repping their communities in classic Spanish mantilla style.
    • Scored epic snack finds: Black Truffle Butter and Mediterranean Herbs and Olive Pringles!

    Back on the ship by 2pm for lunch and siesta (because when in Spain 🤭 we do as locals do)!

    📝Next time we’ll plan to visit the castle, meander Santa Cruz and maybe take a tuktuk tour or coach to Benidorm (45min away) for European Blue awarded beaches.

    Overall, a blissful mix of charm, culture, food, beach, and gourmet treasures – Alicante delivers big time. 🌴🏖️ #CruiseLife #AlicanteAdventures #SpainVibes #MidlifeAfloat
