Today we headed into the city centre of Alicante to try to get some information on the hook ups we need for our new apartment. We took the bus and got off in the business section of town. There is a major business section with numerous stores, shops and malls. We decided to go in to the store called “El Corte Ingles” The store is massive with 7 floors in total. They have everything you could imagine, except for  internet, cell phones and cable TV services. We took the escalator onto every level of the floor and walked around. It is quite impressive. Once we were done touring the store we headed to the mall just down the street. This mall was huge and had numerous stores. We explored this mall and found the main internet, cell phone and TV providers there. After doing some research we managed to get the services we wanted. The challenge was speaking  spanish, fortunately the clerk who served us could speak a little english, so between us we managed to achieve our goal.

Today we got a land line for the apartment, TV service, unlimited internet with fibre optics and monthly packages for our two cell phones. It was a very rewarding day because we did not think we would achieve so much in one day.

On the way back to the bus station we decided to stop in a quaint little cafe shop/bar and have a drink. We each ordered a small beer (8 ounces)  which also came with some olives as our tapa. So we had our beer ate our olives and enjoyed the day. We had two beer each and the bill was $4 euros. The day just keeps getting better and better.  That is it for today, “lo siento no hay fotos de hoy” – I’m sorry no photos today.

“Adios y que tengas un gran dias”
