Alicante, Spain

It was so nice to get to spend time with Mom, Eric, and Kelly all together in Spain. Alicante is absolutely beautiful. I also wanted to see a slightly smaller Spanish city so Alicante was perfect. We stayed in a pretty central area called Plaza de la Puerta del Mar. This was perfect because there are a lot of little markets and shopping, the beautiful coastline, and a small harbor with lots of good restaurants and nightlife. We stumbled around looking for a place to eat the first night we were there, which happened to be Halloween, and landed at a perfect little tapas restaurant thanks to Eric’s suggestion. Luckily it was a big opening night at the restaurant and we ate and drink all night for free. Chef Sabor was the owner and operator and treated us very kindly I think we would all recommend this place for some good food. We all got a kick out of calling him Chef Flavor. Hahahaha
The next day we decided to do a little hiking and climbed Alicante’s famous hilltop castle. The view from the top of the castle was breathtaking. This was a pretty ideal fortress which I’m sure was a perfect castle to defend. Check out some of these pictures of the view. We spent the rest of the day hanging at the beach and went out to a really nice dinner that night for Paella. I really enjoyed the Paella, which I think was the best I had tried during the trip. I think we all really enjoyed this dinner, great gazpacho, vino, and everything. Too bad mom wore the wrong shoes. Hahahahahah j/k
Great little family vaca in Spain. Loved it.
