We just came back from a lovely half term holiday where we had a very good time in Alicante, Spain. A two-hour plane ride and you are in a sunny country with amazing food and beautiful relaxing beaches.

This was our second time in Alicante, the first time we went there was in October last year, the weather was so good it was very nice and hot, perfect tanning conditions. This time around the weather wasn’t as great as it was in October but it was still fairly hot and we stayed at the same hotel as we did in October its called the Melia Alicante. It is located between the Alicante harbour and Postiguet beach.

The view from our room was beautiful; our rooms had balconies, which overlooked the stunning Postiguet beach with golden sand and sparkling blue seawater from the Mediterranean. The view from the rooms on the opposite side of the hotel are just as stunning with scenes from the harbour of many different yachts and of the memorable promenade lined with palm trees, separating the market from the shops and restaurants.

My family and I spent 5 days in Alicante. We rented a car for one day and drove around the coast to different beaches and little villages we had a great time with exquisite views. We drove to Altea, which is what the locals call the Paris of Alicante. There were fashionable shops, cute little cafes and many beachfront restaurants with mesmerising views. It was an adorable little town.

Not far from our hotel there’s a great shopping centre where we went during a rainy day. Alicante has lots of different shops and cafes all around the city not too far to walk to from the hotel or beach. They also have like a high street with lots of shops and I visited Sephora & Kiko (make-up stores) there a couple of times to stock up on some beauty products.

We all enjoyed our amazing holiday and are looking forward to going there again next year.
