Jour 6
Beautiful Benidorm!!! We'll see.
18 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Well it's got to be done, we're this close we've got to go and check it out.
We're taking the bus as the tram station is quite a walk away from the town. The bus takes about 40 minutes to get there meandering through the towns on the way.
One of the big surprises on arriving at Benidorm was the number of camping and caravan sites, there were 4 along the same road.
We got off the bus as near as possible to The Balcony del Mediterranean, which is a scenic look out deck in the centre of the town.
We walked along Platja de Ponet beach first, the sand on the beach is lovely and fine and very clean. We then headed into the centre which is full of shops with sale's on, and restaurants we then went down to the other beach Platja de Llevant where we sat having a drink watching all the mobility scooters going by, single seats, double seats and even ones with seats side by side, I never realised there were so many designs.
The buildings here are huge, the tallest I counted was 32 stories, not my cup of tea
Before heading home we have tea and what do Brits in Benidorm eat, yes you've guessed it Fish and Chips.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Moraira
20 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We are now moving on to Moraira for the afternoon, we drove through here the other day and thought how nice it looked.
Again this town has a harbour and a lovely beach.
Right at the end of the town on a car park were several Motorhomes parked up.
We walked around the outside of the Castell de Moraira again looking at the statutes and then found a nice restaurant on the front where we had a late lunch sitting outside, not bad for January although it was getting a bit cool by the time we had finished.
Back to the car and home for a leisurely evening and to watch the match.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Xàbia
20 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
Today we're taking the car to Xàbia a coastal town to the North of Altea.
The town has a harbour and a large beach but no town to speak of. The weather is sunny today with a slight breeze.
We walk along the sea front and as has happened so many times when we've been holidaying, we meet a fellow 'Baggies' supporter, so after the initial 'Boing, Boing' greeting we stopped for a quick chat. The couple had moved over here to live from Tipton about six months ago and they were loving every moment. Of course the upcoming match, which is on tonight, had to be discussed.
We left them with another hearty 'Boing Boing' and walked a little further taking in the statue of an unknown painter before stopping for refreshments and heading back to the car.
We then drove to the other end of the town where there were some really nice properties overlooking the beach.En savoir plus

Another picture book place, you do have a knack of finding lovely places. So did the Tipton couple know Allan then!? It's a long way to get back for an afternoon match though! [Fiona]

Jour 200
Schluss mit lus...-jetzt wieder Bimobil
1 avril 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Nach 8 Tagen mit festen Dach über unserem Kopf heißt es heute weiterfahren. 🤗

Die acht Tage waren schön. Morgens aufstehen, am Pool etwas Sport, um sich fit zu machen für den Tag. Dann auf der Terrasse frühstücken, in der Sonne. Mit unserem kleinen Stadtflitzer die Umgebung anschauen und am Nachmittag in der Sonne am Pool verbringen. Abends, wenn es kalt wurde, Kamin an. Schön, dass zwei Freundinnen zwei Nächte bei uns verbracht haben.

Die Umgebung, um unser Haus besticht eher durch landschaftliche Highlights.
Die folgenden drei haben wir uns angesehen:
-der Parque Natural El Hondo Puerta Norte in Catral, ein Vogelparadies, viele Vogelarten können beobachtet werden, u.a. auch Flamingos

-die Lagune Rosa in Torrevieja, ein 1400 Hektar großer Salzsee, einer der größten in Europa, welcher ein rosafarbenes Aussehen hat. Ein empfindliches Ökosystem von Bakterien verursacht die Farbgebung. Die Salzkonzentrationen beträgt zum Teil 350 Gramm Salz pro Liter Wasser.

-der Parque Salinas y Arenales de San Pedro del Pinatar in San Pedro del Pinatar, ein ca. 850 Hektar großes Naturschutzgebiet an der Küste, mit Salzseen und Sanddünen sowie Zugvögeln wie z. B. Flamingos

Aus der Reparatur der Klimaanlage in unserem Bimobil ist nichts geworden. Das Kältemittel ist bis heute nicht angekommen. Also, weiter schwitzen und ggf. mit geöffnetem Fenster fahren. 😉

Heute geht es weiter nach Altea.
Zuvor halten wir im Centrum von Catral und besuchen dort den Markt.
Der Wochenmarkt bietet alles, was Frau oder Mann in einer Kleinstadt benötigt. Parallel dazu laufen die Vorbereitungen auf den Palmsonntag und das Osterfest. Eine Gruppe junger Musiker hat die Probe nach draußen verlegt und die Marktbesucher erhalten einen ersten Eindruck, wie und welcher Lieder gespielt werden. Kostprobe gefällig, dann das Video ansehe und hören ☺️

Anschließend in Altea angekommen wird klar, warum viele sagen, dies ist der schönste Ort an der Costa Blanca. Die Kirche Nuestra Senora del Consuelo mit ihrer schönen blau-weiß gekachelten Kuppel liegt auf einem Berg. Je näher man der Kirche kommt, um so mehr Restaurants, Cafes und schöne kleine Boutiquen findet man in den kleinen Gassen. An der Kirche angekommen wird man mit einem herrlichen Ausblick belohnt.

Bereits im letzten Jahrhundert hat Altea zahlreiche Künstler, Maler und Schriftsteller angezogen. Darum erhielt Altea den Beinamen "Künstlerstadt". Ein Besuch lohnt sich, definitiv.

Und das ist kein Aprilscherz 😀En savoir plus

Jour 4
Calp
16 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Today we took the car and headed to Call home of the large rock protruding from the end of the beach.
The weather today is not as good a full blanket of cloud and not as warm.
Well we walked along the prom, as you do, and then headed inland towards the old town.
Not as impressive as Altea. We made our way back to the car and stumbled across a supermarket complete with cafe so killing two birds with one stone we have lunch and top up the shopping. Bonus shoppers get 2 hours free parking and although we'd been to been there longer it didn't cost a penny.
Glad we decided not to stay here Shit rating scale 5.76 , that's Martin's score.
As least the sun has come out now.
We returned home for a leisurely night, did manage to get both sunrise and sunset today.En savoir plus

Jour 1
Sunshine here we come.
13 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C
Up early to fly on Friday 13th, we must be mad. Birmingham Airport was very quiet, checked in and through security in record time. We had a good flight not as bumpy as I expected and the time passed quickly. Again Alicante Airport was quiet, landed, through passport control and the baggage was waiting for us, straight to the car park and picked up the car in just over half an hour.
Arrived at the apartment and it was just like the pictures, wonderful view of the Old Town from the window..
We stroll down to the sea front for a drink and early meal then back for an early night. Plenty of time to explore tomorrow.En savoir plus

Jour 7
El Castell de Guadalest
19 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
After lunch we moved on to Guadalest which is a very small village in the hills with a museum and castle. Apparently only about 200 people live there but in the height of the summer have thousands of visitors a day.
We walked around the museum which overlooks the Embassament de Guadalest a huge reservoir which is a beautiful turquoise blue colour. It was a lovely little town but being so high up it was very windy and cold.
From here on the photos will not be such good quality as I've just broken the camera.
There was a beautiful sunset tonight.En savoir plus

Just goes to show that Benidorm area is lovely (out of season) would never have thought it was so nice with all these little towns and coastal views. Wouldn't like the hot summer and crowds, but this trip is great!! Food for thought [Fi]

Fonts de l'Algar
19 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Today we're going to see the waterfalls at Fonts de l'Algar inland and up towards the mountains.
We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of water flowing down the waterfalls. There were also little ponds which you were allowed to paddle and there were people in the water. Martin put his hand in it and said it wasn't as cold as he expected.
We walked all around the paths and gardens and then had lunch by a swimming pool before moving on.En savoir plus

A Day At Leisure
17 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
Today we are taking it easy. We are walking into Altea as there is a Market on.
After checking out the flea market and thankfully keeping our hands in our pockets we walk down to the sea front for a drink.
We then spend a leisurely afternoon back at the apartment before going out this evening for a stroll to the local Indian restaurant for one of the best Curries we've had.En savoir plus

Jour 2
Altea Old Town
14 janvier 2023, Espagne ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
After a good night's sleep and a leisurely breakfast we set out to explore the Old Town. Not quite such a steep climb as we thought and we took it steady stopping frequently to take in the view's. The Old Town is full of little streets and alley ways full of shops and bars and restaurants, not all are open but there is a good selection, Tapas and Italian food seems to be the main theme.
When we reached the top we went inside the beautifully decorated blue domed Church.
We make our way back down to the sea front for a drink before our Chinese meal and headed home, not quite 10,000 steps but not far off.En savoir plus
