We just went to Alicante for a few days. For the three day weekend my friend and I decided to get out of Madrid. Madrid is wonderful but it’s great to see other parts of the Spanish country. There are so many beautiful regions of Spain, and they all vary so greatly. I’d like to see as much as I can while living here. I love photographing here, enjoying the cuisine, and learning about the culture.

We took a trip to the beach. I had never been to Alicante! It’s a small town but that makes it easy to navigate and the perfect place to go for a weekend because you don’t feel rushed. We explored the castle which had a lovely view. We had a nice lunch of vegetarian pizza, greek salad, and sangria next to San Juan beach which is a little bit north of the town. We then relaxed in the sand napping and soaking up the sun. It was a perfect getaway from Madrid city life. I hope you all had a good weekend too! Feel free to check out my other posts about Valencia and Barcelona! I’m so looking forward to seeing more of Spain and sharing it with you as I go so stay tuned!
