One part of Alicante that so many people miss is actually one of the most picturesque and historic parts of the city, Barrio Santa Cruz, the city’s old town. We’d actually visited Alicante several times before we knew it existed! Barrio Santa Cruz is situated at the bottom of Mount Benacantil, where Santa Bárbara Castle…
Torrevieja is a really popular destination with tourists during the summer months and is well known for its beautiful beaches and busy nightlife. However, if you’re looking for some winter sun, Torrevieja still has plenty of things to do in the cooler months. Winter temperatures in Torrevieja are mild, with fewer crowds, and a much…
When most people think of Alicante, they picture sunny days, beautiful beaches, and summer fiestas. However, Alicante in winter is just as much fun with lots of activities that can make for great holiday or day out. With milder temperatures and fewer crowds, winter in Alicante is definitely worth experiencing. We live around 40 minutes…
There aren’t many places where you can swim in waterfalls, but you can here on the Costa Blanca at Les Fonts D’Algar. Fonts D’Algar, or Algar Waterfalls, is another one of our favourite places that we’ve visited in the Alicante Province, and have been several times at different times of the year and it never…
Torrevieja on Spain’s Costa Blanca is a very popular destination, known for its beautiful beaches, busy nightlife, and relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. There’s so many great things to do in Torrevieja that you’ll find plenty to keep yourselves entertained. However, if you fancy exploring a bit further afield, then you’ll be pleased to hear that there…
Jávea has the most stunning coastal scenery that we’ve found so far on the Costa Blanca. Our dream house is nestled on one of the dramatic cliffs looking out into the Mediterranean Sea! However, if (like us) you’re not lucky enough to have a home with a dream sea view, there are plenty of viewpoints…
Do you ever see photos of places on social media and save them to a list of locations you want to visit? For us that was Setenil de las Bodegas in Andalusia. The usual photos are of a street covered by a rock ‘roof’ and as soon as we saw it we wanted to visit…
We’re gradually getting to some of the places that have been on our Spanish bucket list for a while, and this summer we finally got to cross Ronda off our list! So far we’ve mainly travelled around the Costa Blanca region, as with work and school commitments it can often be hard to find the…
This summer we visited Málaga for the first time. We’d been through Málaga on our way elsewhere and to the airport, but like many people who visit the Costa del Sol area we had always bypassed the city itself. As we were staying in nearby Nerja for a week, we wanted to take a trip…
One of my favourite places to visit in Spain, and definitely my favourite Pueblo Blanco, is Frigiliana in the Malaga region, close to Nerja. I’ve visited a few times now, first in the late 90s, again in 2008, and most recently in June of this year and the place really hasn’t changed that much. It…
