Winter sunshine

 

Back in Spain for our first visit of 2012. After a ghastly early start (stayed up all night as we left home at 3.30am), we flew off on EasyJet’s first flight of the day to Alicante. Arriving to warm sunshine and blue skies after the drizzle back home is a tonic in itself!

Winter is always a great time time to visit Spain; very few tourists and although the Med may be too cold for bathing  (well, it is for me!) the deserted beaches are particularly appealing. What’s more, there can’t be better value in the whole of Spain than breakfast at Scallops in Javea – where the  tables overlook the Arenal beach and a tasty beautifully cooked breakfast of fried egg, bacon, sausage, beans and tomato is just €1.95. Amazing value!
