Alicante; Monday, 15 January, 2018

I checked out of the hotel and wandered down to the bus station through a very light drizzle. I dropped off my bags in the left luggage and then headed along the harbour front and down the esplanade to the old town.

I headed into the old town and popped into the Cathedral for a quick look around, the previous day it being busy with people attending mass.

From the cathedral I walked up into the highest part of the old town, on the edge of the Ereta park and at the end of the city wall. I had intended on walking along the part of the walls that are open to visitors, but I missed the staircase that lead up onto the wall and by the time I’d climbed to the top of the old town and realised that I’d have to go all the way back down and start again I decided that I didn’t really want to walk the walls that much.

Back down into the main part of the city and I stopped for an early lunch before heading back over to the bus station to pick up my luggage, catch the aerobus and start my journey back home.
