Alicante is one of my favourite cities in this part of Spain. It’s a fairly easy drive (just over 2 hours) from where we have based ourselves. This was my fourth visit and each time I find new places to visit as well as re-visiting my favourite spots. On the way back we decided to stop off in Torrevieja; we were a little apprehensive that it would be a mini Benidorm, but were pleasantly surprised.
