Sailing

posted by lzola on 20 January 2011 at 11:07

The sea was tempting on my last trip to Alicante but a little cold so we decided to learn a bit more about sailing, and got chatting to an instructor at the marina. Great fun and we made it all the way to the little island of Tabarca which we thought was a great achievement!

La Gola Fishing

posted by bherman on 20 January 2011 at 11:06

A bit of a drive but a fantastic fishing spot, we went near the end of the season and it was pretty quiet and some of the fish were huge! We did have to take our own rods though which may be difficult if you've not got friends there. But definitely recommended.

Guardamar del Segura, about 40km down the coast

Port

posted by peisenmann on 20 January 2011 at 11:05

I went to Alicante over Christmas and the port/harbourside area was my favourite hangout, things are going on, there's people about and there's some great bars and restaurants too! Just a shame it wasn't quite warm enough for day-long sunbathing sessions!

Mariage Freres

posted by Mman on 19 January 2011 at 18:01

This is a tea lovers' Mecca. They stock different teas from all over the world and even beginning to choose one from the vast list is daunting. They do great cakes and andwiches too and all served in beautiful surroundings evocative of th British East India Company or something of the like with colonial decor and flannel suited waiters.

The Meadows

By Winter this is the most forbidding part of Edinburgh, a vast desolate strip of land with a few paths crossing it. In the summer it can be heavenly, the cherry blossom comes out and the grass is covered with people playing frisbee, having barbeques or playing guitars and drums.
