“La Concha” means the shell (One from the beach, not one that is used in war) This is the open air podium in the center of Alicante. I wish they would have more performances here, because the setting is amazing. #travel #photography #alicante

That last sentence: So very true… “The old man pointed to a baker standing in his shop window at one corner of the plaza. ‘When he was a child, that man wanted to travel, too. But he decided to first buy his bakery and put some money aside. When he’s an old man, he’s going to spend a month in Africa. He never realized that people are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of.’ “ - The Alchemist

Quote I just heard at the airport: “Do you feel like going to Starbucks?” “Starbucks always inspires sadness.” I guess they won’t be going there then…

Happen to walk past this building which looked kind of cool with the trees in front of it. #travel #photography #alicante

Sometimes you have to get out and look up (Photo taken at Explanada de España, Alicante, known for its mosaic tile floor) #travel #photography #alicante

Yes, guilty! I think 95% of the people who see this, recognize themselves.

“La Cara del Moro” Once you see the face in the mountain, you cannot unsee it anymore. (Hint, the face is en-profile) And the cool thing is that there is a citadel on top! #travel #photography #alicante

The Alicante sunset from Postiguet beach. Not a bad place to be… #travel #photography #alicante

Unfortunately, only people who are into #pikminbloom know what Proof Of Work this represents… It’s a whole lot of steps in the real world to get this puzzle completed. #pikmin #pow #walking

Talking about citadels: Alicante already has one… This is Santa Barbara Castle at night. An impressive building that seems to grow out of the mountaintop. The stories these walls would tell you… #travel #photography #alicante #citadel

A true Dali (Saint Joan) stands in the town hall of Alicante. Except… the story is that Dali did not have the money to pay the mould-maker his wages. In an unusual moment, the artist gave away the Saint Joan mould to the mould-maker as wages for his labour. The mould-maker later made this Saint Joan sculpture from Dali’s mould. So far, I have not been able to either confirm or deny this m, but it makes for a great story. #art #travel #photography #alicante

GM from Plaze Gabriel Miro, Alicante, Spain The big trees are Australian Fig trees and they can become enormous. Quite a sight to see (see second photo). #travel #photography #alicante

For obvious reasons, everyone calls this street in Alicante ‘The Mushroom street’. The story behind how these mushrooms came to be growing here is quite interesting. It was a desperate measure to attract people and businesses to a neglected and even dangerous area. It worked surprisingly well. #travel #photography #alicante

View from the Alicante marina towards the city. With Santa Barbara castle keeping an eye out from the top of the hill #travel #photography #alicante

When dog meets goose…

Sunset at Playa Almadraba, a lesser known beach in Alicante. Palm trees and sunsets always make a pretty picture together #travel #photography #alicante #sunset

Gate to plaza del Ayuntamiento, Alicante, Spain Every time there are new details I notice when going through this gate. One of those spots where history gets tangible. And going through this gate, it is always a surprise what you will find on the other side. #travel #photography #alicante

That moment when you try to work out how zaps work and accidentally zap your own post… Tell me that I am not the only one that does this… #zaps #newbie #introductions #nostr #learn

Birdseye view of Alicante by night When the night falls over the city, it creates this mysterious atmosphere. Especially when a few clouds decide to join. GN everyone #travel #photography #alicante
