After the frenzy of La Tomatina, we took a bus further south down the coast to Alicante, where we ended up renting an apartment with a view of the ocean, and relaxed on the beach for 5 days. We spent our first night in Alicante at a hotel, because the place we planned on renting fell through at the last minute, about an hour before we had to catch the bus to Alicante. We booked into the cheapest hotel we could find that looked decent. Our first night there we went out to party with the guys from the UK that we had met at our hostel in Valencia. I guess our cheap last minute hotel wasn’t in the nicest area, because when we asked at reception how far it was to the town hall, he flat out told us not to walk and to grab a cab, because of all the prostitution in the area. Sure enough, around the corner from our hotel we saw a prostitute standing on the corner, pulling down her shirt so that her boobs were out.
The old town center was way nicer, full of restaurants and bars, and where we ended up renting an apartment. The beach was about a 5 minute walk away, and we could see if from our kitchen window. Despite all the stress, we got a pretty good deal on the place to since it was a last minute booking. I’d definitely look at renting a place again for a beach holiday. It’s totally the way to go if you have a group of people.
