Sol de Alcudia Puerto Alcudia

... was closed. It was not only a Sunday but the church holiday of All Saints Day. We instead went to a small town called Gata, yes meaning female cat. There was a small bodega which sold the wine so we got to go there and taste a very tiny portion and taste almond nugget. Neither were good. Then we drove to another small town all closed up and got to have ...

... to jagged rocks, slippery mud and cliff faces accented with a million seagulls (and their droppings...). We persevered up the majority of the trail until we got to a point where we were using ropes for balance as we went up steeper rock faces. Now I wouldn't call this a challenging hike, perhaps a bit technical but in flip flops it was HELL! We finally called it ...

... we went to see and in Altea there was a beautiful rocky beach where Cristina and I had a really good heart to heart about our lives. Hehe, so corny but it was really good. I &lt;3 her mucho!~! I love good listeners since I'm such a big talker, tehe, but I love talkers too, which thank goodness both Elizabeth and Cristina are!~!<br>And hollaback at that anchor!~! DG love!~! o--+--)<br>

... necklace made out of onion for Annabelle!~! And a pair of mono hammered metal copper earrings!~! It's hard here because spending Euros doesn't seem like you're spending real money--but it is! <br>We meet our host families in two days and that's when it all really begins. I can't wait! I'm just hoping and praying that I live close to the City Centre. And that mi familia es muy amable. <br>Elizabeth and I haven't had to eat ...

... with: "What nationality are you?" I stared at him blankly and replied "British", I joked, "this is the BRITISH consulate". He then wisely replied "no, no. Many people don´t realise this but Britain actually consists of England, Scottland, and Wales". At this point someone else sitting behind, him who we had previously spoke to, started to silently cry laughing. I replied "yeh, I know but....." He then interupted me and said "no, your not hearing me, the Island ...

... few hours Miguel turned up and told us his stories of being lost which involved running round the city for two hours looking confused. He obviously went up for a shower. Shortly after a German girl (Jessica) started talking to me looking to meet some people. She told me a funny story about how she had just seen this crazy looking confused person running around a bus stop. This story was ...

We arrived in Alacante hoping to find the only hostel they have which we were informed is 7 euros a night. Obviously we were half expecting to find nothing but wierd Spanish people. Well I can tell you that after a while of cycling round this seemingly normal city we actually found the hostel which happened to be uni accomodation. After a legthily convosation (many badly drawn pictures of stickmen) with ...

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 ...

... Küsten. Patrick führt mich zielstrebig zu den schönsten und sehenswertesten Flecken, die diese Stadt zu bieten hat. Der Hafen ist erstklassig - seht selbst!<br><br>Ich höre den ganzen Tag Englisch - ja es gibt sogar englische Pubs und englisches Essen. Es ist nur ziemlich heiß, schon beim schleichenden Gehen breche ich in Schweißescapaden aus-uff!<br><br>Aber gut, das war sicher noch kühl - im August 09 erlebt Spanien eine Hitzewelle - es hat immer über 40 Grad!<br>

We aren't really sure why we chose to go to Alicante, maybe because it was in the south of Spain where it would be warmer. We rented an apartment for a month, well it was a room in this spanish house. The whole house was renovated, everything was brand new. Our room had a nice bed, microwave/oven, tv, a couple desks, dressers and a balcony with an awesome view. Basically we got a sweet place for a great ...
