🇪🇸 Alicante | Coastal Drive into Azure Bliss 🌊
A sun-drenched Spanish coastal town where English is scarce but charm is abundant—best explored by car! We drove from Valencia (~2 hours) along the breathtaking E-15 to AP-7 coastal route (Google Maps missed this gem—trust me, it’s free and stunning!). 🚗 Pit Stops & Bites 📍 Alicante Port: Free parking + turquoise vistas perfect for photos. Nearby tennis courts add to the vibe! 📍 Central Market: Lively local stalls + La Rotonda tapas bar (packed with Spaniards!). Must-try: 🥗 Seafood salad (€4.5, chilled & fresh) 🍡 Meatballs (€3.5, Chinese-approved!) 🦑 Fried squid (€8/half-portion, salty but tasty) 🍤 Fried shrimp & potato croquettes (€6, skip the mash) 🍊 Fresh OJ (€4.5) + free bread! 💡 Pro Tips Parking: Underground near the market (pay on exit). Golden Hour: Coastal light = next-level magic. #Alicante #SpainRoadTrip #CoastalVibes #TapasLover
