The fresh morning breeze gently drifts through the streets of Moraira as I get ready for another day full of adventure. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingers in the air as I take my first steps toward Alicante, a city bursting with history and energy, just an hour’s drive away.

Alicante, Gateway to the Costa Blanca

The Buzz of the Old Town

After visiting the castle, I lose myself in the winding streets of the old town, “El Barrio.” Here you’ll find narrow lanes lined with colorful facades and charming squares.
