A day in downtown Alicante

Today we headed back into the centre of Alicante to do some banking and a little exploring. We finished our banking early and  decided to stop off at an outside restaurant that specialized in crepes.  The restaurant served amazing crepes and were very tasty. The meal included coffee and tea and was only $10 in total.  Away from the tourist areas things can be fairly inexpensive.

We then headed for a walk to the Castle of San Fernando which is located on one of the two major hills in the city.  It is also one of two castles located in the city of Alicante. We walked along trails which led up to the top. It was quite the steep walk and certainly was an exercise but the view was nice. Along the trail was a ceramic crest for the Castle of San Fernando.

When we were closer to the top we could see one of the guard pillars located at the Castle.

When we finally made it to the top the view was stunning.  We had a panoramic view of the city of Alicante. The view was worth the walk to the top.

Today we used pedometer again and in total we walked just over 13 kilometres. It was full day but very enjoyable.
