Djemaa el-Fna

posted by vcypret on 2 February 2011 at 11:59

No trip to Marrakech is complete without a trip here, the heart of the city where people gather to perform, sell, meet, eat and drink. A great place to get some hearty food for a great price, just don't expect veggie options to be completely meat free, seems to be the Moroccan way to add just a little goat or chicken 'for flavour'!

Santa Barbara Castle

posted by gschuth on 2 February 2011 at 11:59

This is a massive fortress - or rather a series of fortresses. The top fortifications date from the 14th century and the bottom from the 18th century. It's really impressive and the iconic view of Alicante. Asside from the wonderful old fortifications to admire, you'll have the stunning views of the bay to enjoy.

Dar si Said Museum

posted by lfisher on 2 February 2011 at 11:58

Such a wonderful museum, housing all manner of things showing the arts, crafts and culture of the Berber people. And it's housed in a stunning palace which is an extra treat. Highlights include Moorish furniture and the elaborate door and window frames.

La Ereta

posted by hbynum on 2 February 2011 at 11:54

This is a park on the slope of Mount Benacantil. It has some amaziong views down over the town, the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, the cathedral and the port. There's a nice restaurant at one end of the park and it's generally just a really nice place to while away a couple of hours.

Alicante city hall

posted by cknapp on 2 February 2011 at 11:48

This is a great place to come in the evening as it really fills out with peoplesitting and eating and drinking at the little cafes nearby. There are some beautiful fountains sending jets of colourfully lit water up all around the square.
