We arrived in Alacante from La Romana via our host from the B&B in La Romana. He drove us into Alacante for 30 euros which was expensive however to catch a bus would have been tricky and early in the morning so we were able to have a breakfast before coming here. We arrived around 11:30 and were able to check in. The hotel Maya is very nice, and modern. We settled in then went for a walk and ended up touring the CASTILLO DE SANTA BARBARA, which is the castle perched on top overlooking the city see attached gallery. Ciao!

We spent two nights in a b&b near La Romana, took the bus from Gandia – got sort of lost but some real nice Brit’s helped us find our way! These are a few shots of the desert area, and boy was it hot!! We could not hike in the hills, just too hot, so walked the Rambla into town instead which was still about 15km return. The beer tasted real good after that!! Deb
