Alicante
30 minutes drive north will take you to Alicante. Alicante is capital
of the province and is a beautiful elegant city with a modern habour
development of sophisticated restaurants and bars built around a marina.
Alicante's waterfront promenade is one of the most beautiful in Spain
where the broad path of wavy coloured tiles runs between towering
palms, making a shady place to observe Spanish city life over a cool
beer or an ice cream. |
