Altea

Mileage: 163726

After two nights, we said goodbye to our spot among the houses and set off along the coast. When we passed the Salinas de Santa Pola after just a few kilometers, we immediately agreed not to visit this salt flat as well.

We took a detour around the large city of Alicante just like we did around Benidorm with its incredible skyscraper skyline. We simply had no desire for large cities.

In the afternoon, we reached the very nice, large parking lot on the outskirts of the city of Altea. After a short break, we went for our obligatory walk on the beach, which consisted of quite large pebbles. Although we didn't actually want to go into the city, the sight of the Iglesia parroquial de la Virgen del Consuelo, which crowned the town with its blue-glazed roof tiles, was so enticing that we climbed the steps through the small, narrow streets to take a closer look at the building.

The information board next to the church was written in three languages: Spanish, English, and Valencià. We were now in the region of València, and here too they had their own language.

After our return to Gary, there was an early dinner with burger patties and fried potatoes.

Then we had some time to play again.
