Hi everyone!
I’m planning a little trip in October and wanted to share where I’m at with my preparations.
We’re heading to Alicante from October 18th to 23rd and will be staying on C/ Bailén. (We won’t have a car.) We’ve decided to buy a bus and tram card with 20 trips for the two of us to start. Depending on the weather, here’s what we’ve planned: a visit to Alicante including the covered market, the bullring (?), Santa Cruz…
La Illeta del Banyets,
Lucentum,
the MARQ museum,
ELCHE,
Tabarca Island,
Villajoyosa,
Villena Castle,
Orihuela (if we have time).
Any thoughts? Anything that doesn’t seem worth it? I’m bringing my snorkel mask and a wetsuit just in case.
I remember a bit of Spanish—just *unas pocas palabras*—but otherwise, I get by in English. I’m bringing some euros in small bills. I don’t eat gluten, lactose, legumes, or rice—not allergic, but I feel sick if I eat them. If there are any dishes you’d recommend trying (I’ve heard about *patatas bravas*, and there must be seafood and octopus), or anything for my husband, who can eat everything.
We’re hoping to find a holiday vibe with some atmosphere, even though we’ll be there at the end of October.
