Alicante the place of the smelly drain, the festival and the scary beach!!
Well we´ve arrived with no accommodation in the middle of a festia...... TROUBLE!!! Eventually we found Popeyes Pensions (guesthouse) for €15 each a night with shared bathroom.
We dumped our rucs and went walking around the town....the whole place was in party mood, strange models and the place full of a festive spirit!!!
We went for a look around and then headed back to popeyes to get changed to go out! On our wonders we saw a fashion show and dance show...we decided after a few drinks in the Irish pub (second one) we´d go and have a look! Well we had a great night!!! Free apart from the €10 a round of vodka and coke cola light!- well a few of them!
Woke up the next morning to the man who run the hostal banging the door - we opened to find it was 12.15pm - we were supposed to check out at 12 or reconfirm our booking...... i did this through a slit in the door not too fully awake.
Because this was supposed to be a restful break we headed to the beach on both the second and third days....where we soaked up alot of rays and relaxed..... i went for a swim on each beach ...the first beach was lovely but full of seaweed but the second beach had panty liners and other horrible unmentionables in it!! Once i saw these i got out of the water pronto!!
We left for Barcelona on Tuesday...arrived at 2pm eventually found a place to stay and drunk far toooooooo much sangria!!! ( I´m writing this now under the influence of it!!)
