In this episode we take you to the fun city of Alicante. It is usually described in two words - beaches and bars.

It has a whole lot more than that to offer. Listen as we take you to the most popular beach area with views of the Castle.

We then take you up a lift inside the mountain to one of Spain’s largest medieval fortresses - Santa Barbara Castle.

We then take you along the prettiest promenade in Spain (in our opinion) and tell you all about the markets that are there at night.

We take you to an fairy wonderland street in the Old Town called “Mushroom Street” and then to the most unique and fascinating museum that is all about the most famous festival in Alicante called Les Fogueres de San Juan - Bonfire Museum.

We take a day trip to the famous Tabarca Island that used to be a pirate refuge.

Next we go on another day trip to the prettiest white hillside village in all of Spain - Altea. Listen as we tell you why it is called the Santorini of Spain.
