      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 1

      Sunshine here we come.

      January 13, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 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.

      Altea Old Town

      January 14, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 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.

      A Day At Leisure

      January 17, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 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.

    • 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.

      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.

      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.
