In December of 1995, I traveled on business to Alicante, Spain. Alicante is the main city along Spain’s Costa Blanca. I went a couple of days early and visited my friend, Enrique. Earlier, I shared our trip to Guadalest with you. Then we returned to Alicante.
I took this shot of the nearly empty beach out the window of my hotel room. Remember it was December. That beach will be very crowded during the summer months — especially in August.
Later, the full moon rose over the Mediterranean, which transformed the scene as if by magic. Traffic zipped along the highway while the moon shone down on the lazily moving water.
The next morning found me looking out the window at Santa Barbara Castle, which is located on Mount Benacantil. After business was taken care of, it was up the hill to the castle.
From Santa Barbara castle, I looked down on the town and the sailboats in the harbor. It was a beautiful sight.
A slight turn to the right and I could see the hotel and the boat slips across the way. Then it was back down the hill and the work that awaited me there.
It was a very enjoyable visit. Business was good and it was great to see some of my Spanish friends again. If you get the chance to visit Alicante, don’t miss it!
Amazing shots! No wonder you love Spain so much. It’s really beautiful.
What awesome pictures Chuck. Prince’s brother lives in Spain and I’m itching to go over this summer. Haven’t been in awhile and these snaps made me want to go worse. Thanks a lot, lol 🙂
