      Ein ganz besonderer Tag

      November 24, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      dazu soll es wieder an die Küste gehen.
      Denn mein Schatz liebt ja das Meer 🌊 und den Gefallen tu ich ihm heute gern. Heute werden alle seine Wünsche erfüllt, denn Günnie hat Geburtstag 🎂

      Wir starten nach einem gemütlichen Frühstück Richtung Altea und stehen jetzt auf dem San Antonio Camper Park direkt am Meer.

      Eine kleine Radtour steht auf dem Programm, dabei schon mal mit den Füssen vorfühlen. Wasser ist garnicht so kalt, baden gehen???
      JA!
      Wer kann schon im November, an seinem Geburtstag ins Meer springen 😉
      Was ein Traum!

      Am Abend suchen wir noch ein nettes Lokal und werden kulinarisch verwöhnt 😋
      Zum Abschluss des Tages, lassen wir zwei, den Abend mit einem guten Wein 🍷 beim Sonnenuntergang ausklingen. Happy Birthday Schatz

      Exploring Albir

      January 15, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Today we're having a gentle stroll into Albir which lies between Altea and Benidorm. We walked along the prom basking in the sunshine, it's shorts and sun tops today.
      We walk passed the Marina and another batch of nice restaurants.
      We're hoping to find a bar selling craft beers which Martin has read about but when we reach it there is no craft beer so it's a Guinness today.
      The beach is accessible all along the prom but disappointingly it's a pebble beach and no sand.
      After lunch we decide to catch the bus back but unfortunately we don't have any face masks so we have to walk back to the prom to find a shop selling masks. Items purchased and back to the bus stop in time for the next bus., cheap fares over here.
      Meal in tonight as neither of us can be bothered to go out

    • Day 6

      Beautiful Benidorm!!! We'll see.

      January 18, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.

    • Day 11

      Altea, Calpe und nochmal San Juan

      April 23 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Eine Woche Costa Blanca sind vorüber. Eine Woche Auszeit für Beziehungen und Zeit für sich selbst.
      In einem der ersten Posts haben wir geschrieben, dass das Reisen für uns Persönlichkeitsentwicklung ist. Dies haben die vergangenen Tage auch bestätigt.
      Einblicke in die lokale Kultur, Gesellschaft und das Leben hier haben unseren Weltblick geformt und verändert. Einige Stunden Wanderungen haben Gedanken kommen und gehen lassen sowie Zeit für meditative Leere geboten. Qualitätszeit für die wir dankbar sind. Ebenso dankbar für unsere Familie die akzeptieren, dass wir nur zu zweit Zeit benötigen und uns den Rahmen hierfür schaffen.

      Morgen gegen Mittag geht es zurück nach Hause auf welches wir uns trotz bevorstehender Baustellen freuen.

      Die beiden Städte haben noch einmal mit ihrem spanischen Flair begeistern können.

      Moraira

      January 20, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Xàbia

      January 20, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      El Castell de Guadalest

      January 19, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Fonts de l'Algar

      January 19, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 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.
