Alicante, Spain in December 2012

A trip to sunny Alicante was really a treat away from snowy Stavanger.

We went to the Santa Barbara Castle, Postiguet Beach, Saint Nicholas Cathedral and Guadalest.

Guadalest is beautiful! The castle has lots of history from the 1500s. Probably missed a lot of the story behind the building due to everything being Spanish. But all in all it was awesome!

Enjoyed the views from the Santa Barbara Castle too. The climb up was pretty tiring and scary, but the view looking down to the beach and the town if Alicante is fabulous!

The cathedral looks pretty plain from the outside, but the inside is awesome. You can smell 'historic' scent of the ancient building as soon as you walk in. As it is a place of worship, I decided to respect it and not take any pictures.

Postiguet beach is beautiful. Managed to dip our feet into the Mediterranean Sea. It was a bit too cold to swim though. We were the only ones near the water.

Shopping was cool. I would say way way way better than Stavanger. Bought a few tops and pants. Eating was also a highlight for me. The paella, oh so good! Tapas were good too. Managed to sneak in KFC which I can't find in Stavanger and also Macdonalds.

Would I go again? I probably would after all other destinations have been exhausted.
