Felipe and Ray went for a drive to explore some of the area around Alicante. We went along the coastline towards the town of Santa Pola. Along the way we came to a small church which looked like something out of an old western movie. We decided to stop and check it out.

The scenery along the coastline was great, with nice views of the Mediterranean Sea. There were bluffs of Santa Pola on one side and the view of the sea on the other. We could see in the distance the lookout near the lighthouse.

We decided to go and explore the lookout and lighthouse of Santa Pola, which is called “Faro Cabo De Santa Pola”. The road to the lighthouse was long and narrow  with numerous potholes.

There was a raised metal platform that went slightly over the edge of the bluff.

The view from the lookout was truly breathtaking with a great view of the island of Tabarca and the coastline of the entire region.

The views along the coast were beautiful with almost an amazing view around every curve.
