Day Trippin'

Hola amigos!

So I know I owe you one post...but that post is being put on the back burner, cause honestly I can't keep up right now. So I am gonna write about some recent happenings...This past weekend I took 2 day trips to 2 different coast towns on the Costa Blanca (also where Alicante is). The first was with our group to a little town called Campello and the second was to a town called Altea with some friends that came to visit from the States. Let's start with Campello.

To be honest the trip was kind of a waste of time, kind of unorganized, but nevertheless, it was nice to get out of Alicante and see something new. Campello is tiny, tiny town that pretty much is desolate in the winter months. We walked around, took some pictures, bought some illegal DVDs (not me), and ate some churros con chocolate (yes me). We were only there for a few hours, but it was fun.

Something was really interesting was the fish auction we saw. Every day in Campello, after fisherman dock for the day; there is an auction for what fish they caught. People come and gather around this table and bid on the goods. It was something I had never seen before, I guess people who restaurants and what not come to get fish for their menus...oh the benefits of living on the sea!

The second trip was taken this past Sunday to a place called Altea. It's alot like most of the costal towns here, but I thought it'd be good to show my friends a picturesque view of the Mediterranean and Espana. It was definitely a tiring journey, probably due to the lack of sleep we had, but we embraced it.

Alright, there's a few more day trips coming up, so I will definitely be posting about those soon! Tomorrow we go to the waterfalls in Guadalest!
