Bahia Calpe

Benidorm is called the Manhattan of the Costa Blanca, not cause its super cool, but because of its numerous high rises. We didn't spent much time here, we drove 20 min to the next town called Calpe. We did a cool hike, up a huge rock peninsula, and recommended by the guide book we brought with us. Being experienced hikers and being completely ignorant as to what we ...

... Gary's going to write a more detailed entry on that one.) The rest of us enjoyed a quiet week-end at home enjoying the sun, the pool, and eating whenever we felt like it .... <br><br>The other thing that we've really enjoyed this summer is the night-time activities - with everyone indoors resting in the heat of the afternoon, the warm balmy evenings are the best time to enjoy what the region has to offer, at this time of year. We've ...

First of all I can´t believe we actually survived the night. Whats more is that the lizards and cockroaches running around didnt go near me. Thats a good start. <br><br>Never see famous people in England , yet you cycle 1500 miles to a supermarket in the middle of Spain you find Tony Robbinson. Amazing. Then we ate big food ...

... br><br>Looking for a camping spot we noticed a very small crumbling abandoned building. What a great place to sleep. Little bit worrying about the old matress that was there though. Probably a hang out for crack addicts. But waking up to a mental crack head is not as bad as most of our other nights so we went for it.

Mit: Patrick aus Österreich<br><br>Wir reisen im gut klimatisierten Zug schnell aus Alicante hinaus, fahren an El Campello vorbei, ein malerische Bucht, wo auch viel Englisch zu hören ist, wie ich am nächsten Tag feststellen kann, villa Joyosa und dann Benidorm. Der Name klingt für meine Ohren ja recht ulkig, man soll sich aber nicht an offensichtlichen Äußerlichkeiten festhängen. Denn:<br><br>Benidorm ist auf Anhieb sympathisch. Adrett, Sauber, viel leiser und ...

... kommen noch unschuldige Sonnenuntergange, nett gemalt, dann 'oops'<br>Nackt-fotos und im nachsten Raum eine J e s u s statue. Wie passt das bitte zusammen?<br><br>Auch an alten, antiquen Hausmobeln, Geschirrkaesten, alten Bettstatten und uralten Waschschusseln kommen wir vorbei ins Freie-die Aussicht ist gut, alle ...

Bussed to Denia, arriving around 6pm.<br><br>Threw our stuff at the hostel (new just 2 weeks old and awesome) then made our way down to the grandstand. The grandstand is 3-sided, with the fourth bordering the wharf and the sea. The guns went off and somewhere in the city the bull run started. We were sitting up on the second top row so could see all the guys running followed by 8 bulls into the stadium. The old ducks behind us were cackling away... dunno ...

Era casi el ultimo dia en Benidorm. Ahora mismo estoy en casa, hace varios dias, pero echo de menos la playa y la piscina. Aquí la gente siempre esta de mal humor, incluso yo también y no me gusta. Solo quiero reir siempre.<br><br>Primero voy a poner las fotos para recordar y ahora escribo .........<br><br>(20 minutos despues ..)<br><br>Por la mañana fuimos al mercadillo. Muchos puestos con ropa, comida , jueguetes, etc. Mucho mas grande que el de ...

We left Torrevieja and had a really relaxed sail doing over 7 knots with flat seas. Skies and seas were a beautiful blue as we sailed past jagged, rocky arid cliffs, so unlike home but really beautiful. Secret little cays and caves dot the coastline giving thoughts to pirates and older times as ruins of old Moorish fortresses stand on headlands. After 3 rejections from marinas (all full) we finally find a berth at Calpe, it was meant to be a short sail day but in the ...
