🚗 Alicante Road Trip: Stunning Towns, Beaches & Food in One Day! 🇪🇸

🚙 Car Rental Goldcar at Alicante Airport - Super affordable! €93 for 3 days (full coverage). Self-service key pickup/drop-off was super convenient. ⛪️ Stop 1: Altea 9 AM: Drove 1 hour from Alicante to Altea, voted one of Spain’s most beautiful towns! Must-see: The iconic hilltop church (park by the sea and walk up for preserved Mediterranean charm + epic sea views). Hidden gem: De Sabors bakery near the church—order coffee ☕ (comes with a free macaron!). Their pastries are chef’s kiss 🥐, and the terrace has church views. 🌊 Stop 2: Mirador Morro de Toi 18-min drive from Altea. Park roadside and hike a short path to the top. 360° sea views! Don’t miss the "Mediterranean Stone" photo spot 🍽️ Stop 3: Calp Lunch break at 78 Sabores & Copas (found by accident while craving sandwiches!). Perks: Sea views + Calpe’s famous rock right beside you. €13/person for fresh food (slow service but worth it!). Calpe’s beach is quiet & pristine—perfect for a post-meal stroll. 🏖️ Stop 4: Platja Granadella 1-hour drive from Calpe (took scenic backroads—passed luxury villas owned by international elites 🏡💸). Winter perk: Had the entire glass-clear beach to ourselves! Water = unreal turquoise. 💎 Parking: Free in winter (summer may charge). 🥩 Stop 5: Alicante Dinner 7 PM: Back in Alicante for steak heaven at Las Brasas de San Miguel. DIY dry-aged T-bone on a hot stone—buttery, tender, melt-in-your-mouth 🤤. Pro tip: They usually require reservations, but we snagged a walk-in spot by arriving early! Bonus: Ate tuna belly & ham bought from the fish market the day before. #SpainTravel #RoadTripSpain #Alicante #SpanishFood #HiddenGems #MediterraneanVibes #BeachLife #FoodieAdventure #TravelGram #NoRegrets
