We celebrated July 4th with some of our friends with a picnic. The 12th century castle of Santa Barbara was a perfect spot, for a picnic. We arrived early and began setting up balloons and decorations for the picnic.

The castle has an area with picnic tables and trees which provide shade.

The Castle of Santa Barbara is located on Mount Benacantil and is a 166 meters above Alicante. The castle provides great views of the area and part of the coast line of the Mediterranean sea.

Once we were set up lots of our friends showed up to the picnic. It was a pot luck style and there were foods from many different national backgrounds. There was  traditional Venezuela, German, Texas, Polish and United Kingdom foods which everyone shared and enjoyed.

We enjoyed the day celebrating with our multi-national group of friends from different corners of the world.

The views were also a great addition to a wonderful day, even the locals dropped in to check out the picnic.

One of the many beautiful features of living in Alicante is the breathtaking views and unique features.

“Adios y que tengas un gran dia”
