Spain Travel diary | 3 day last minute october trip to Alicante

19/04/2022 | Reageer

Hi everyone! Last autumn I went to Alicante with a friend who was temporarily working at my airline. Due to all of my busy schedules, all my travel diaries had been ‘on hold’ for a few months. In this blog I will explain to you in short with a lot of photos what we did in Alicante in 3 days. In bold you will find some tips and an explanation of our experiences. I have to tell you honestly that I like to do active things, but because it was very last minute, and we had very busy schedules, we both felt the need to take it easy during this last minute trip.

The weather in Alicante was still very nice mid-October. The weather there was around 25 degrees Celsius, so I could still take a lot of unworn summer dresses with me. After a morning flight from our ‘home base’ Eindhoven, we arrived in Alicante. Cheap shuttle buses run from the airport to both the city and surrounding villages, so we left for the center. Chantal (my friend) had found a super nice and affordable apartment last minute via hotels.com. The apartment is called: Arenal Suites, and I was actually a fan on arrival. It gave me an Airbnb feeling, which I love. The apartment was spacious, compact and spotlessly clean. Great!

Before checking in, we had lunch at Madness Coffee – Affordable and Nice! Many places are closed on Mondays, so keep that in mind! After our lunch and check in, we decided to walk around the city. Barrio Santa Cruz is a very authentic neighbourhood, full of cute little streets, and well worth a visit for a walking tour. I thought this was the nicest place in town! At the beginning of the evening we had something to eat near our apartment and later went for a drink at a rooftop bar somewhere in the city. Both places were not very exciting, so I can’t remember the names of them.

Hi allemaal! Afgelopen najaar ben ik naar Alicante geweest met een vriendin die tijdelijk gedetacheerd was bij mijn airline. Door alle drukte hebben al mijn travel diaries een paar maanden vertraging opgelopen. In deze blog ga ik jullie met een hoop foto’s in short uitleggen wat wij in 3 dagen Alicante hebben gedaan. Dikgedrukt vinden jullie wat tips en een uitleg van onze ervaringen. Ik moet jullie eerlijk zeggen dat ik graag actieve dingen onderneem, maar door alle drukte we beide de behoefte hadden rustig aan te doen tijdens deze last minute trip.

Het weer in Alicante was half oktober nog ontzettend goed. Het weer daar was rond de 25 graden, dus kon ik nog een hoop ongedragen zomerjurkjes meenemen. Na een ochtendvlucht vanuit onze ‘homebase’ Eindhoven, kwamen we aan in Alicante. Vanaf de luchthaven gaan goedkope shuttlebussen naar zowel de stad als omliggende dorpen, dus vertrokken we daarmee richting het centrum. Chantal (de vriendin) had last minute een super leuk en betaalbaar appartementje gevonden via hotels.com. Het appartement heet: Arenal Suites, en ik was eigenlijk gelijk fan bij aankomst. Het gaf me een Airbnb gevoel, waar ik van houd. Het appartement was ruim, compact en brandschoon. Top!

Voor we in konden checken hadden we lunch bij Madness Coffee – Betaalbaar en leuk! Veel is overigens dicht op maandag, houd daar rekening mee! Na onze lunch en inchecken, besloten we door de stad te wandelen. Het wijkje Barrio Santa Cruz is heel authentiek, vol schattige kleine straatjes en zeker een bezoekje waard voor een wandeltocht. Ik vond dit de leukste plek van de stad! Begin van de avond waren we ergens bij ons appartement wat gaan eten en later nog een drankje gaan doen bij een rooftopbar ergens in de stad. Beide plekken waren niet héél spannend, dus heb ik de namen daar niet meer van onthouden.

Day 2 we had brunch at Sip and Wonder at the end of the morning. Very affordable, a nice place and nice menu! It also had friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Renting a bike was also quite a challenge and after several attempts we failed during our entire trip. In my opinion, cycling is a great idea to do during city trips and I enjoy doing it. Later that day we went for a coffee by the sea and went for a walk through the same streets as yesterday, to finally arrive at Castillo de Santa Barbara. This castle has beautiful views of the city, but is quite a walk. So don’t put on (block) heels like I do ;). If you have a few hours to spare and fancy a good walk, I definitely recommend visiting this castle. Chantal and I then had a drink at the same place and eaten bruschettas with a nice view. After changing clothes in our apartment, we decided to go out for dinner. The square where we had dinner is called Plaza Santisima Faz. This square is very cozy and the restaurants are good too! Because we were asked to wait awhile, we were given cava on the house. How fun! I had delicious Tagliatelle Carbonara – one of my favorite dishes. Very nice to spend an evening here!
Dag 2 waren we aan het einde van de ochtend gaan brunchen bij Sip and Wonder. Prima betaalbaar, leuke plek en leuke menukaart! Verder ook vriendelijk personeel en een relaxte sfeer. Een fiets huren was overigens ook een hele uitdaging en na meerdere pogingen niet meer gelukt tijdens onze hele trip. Fietsen is in mijn ogen wel een top idee om te doen tijdens citytrips en doe ik dan ook graag. Later die dag zijn we een koffietje gaan drinken bij de zee en nog wat gaan wandelen door dezelfde straten als gisteren, om uiteindelijk uit te komen bij Castillo de Santa Barbara. Dit kasteel heeft prachtig uitzicht over de stad, maar is een behoorlijke tocht. Trek dus niet zoals ik (blok) hakken aan ;). Mocht je een paar uur te besteden hebben en zin hebben in een goede wandeling, raad ik dit kasteel zeker aan om te bezoeken. Chantal en ik hebben op diezelfde plek daarna een drankje gedronken en bruschetta’s gegeten met leuk uitzicht. Na rustig te hebben omgekleed in ons appartement, besloten we uit eten te gaan. Het plein waar we hadden gegeten heet Plaza Santisima Faz. Dit plein is erg gezellig en de eettentjes zijn ook goed! Omdat ons gevraagd werd even te wachten, kregen we vervolgens cava van het huis. Hoe leuk! Ik had heerlijke Tagliatelle Carbonara – een van mijn lievelings gerechten. Heel leuk hier een avondje te zitten!
Day 3 we didn’t really have many big plans anymore. We didn’t have that for this city trip anyway, except for arranging a corona test certificate. We had breakfast at a nice place called Santa Gloria Coffee & Bakery. Nice atmospheric place. At the same time, we were busy looking for a place for a corona test. In principle, you can just call a lot of pharmacies last minute for a quick test of around 25-40 euros with a QR code on paper. After a lot of asking around, we got different names of places through locals, while on Google almost nothing could be found. We had the best milk tea ever at a place called Kambon and got the tip for the test QR there too. This day we mainly walked for hours and did some shopping. Just before we were going back to the airport, we ate black paella at a nice spot by the sea and I tried pink gin tonic.
Dag 3 hadden we eigenlijk niet heel veel grootse plannen meer. Die hadden we voor deze citytrip sowieso niet, op het regelen van een corona testbewijs na voor de terugreis. We hadden ontbeten bij een mooie plek genaamd Santa Gloria Coffee & Bakery. Leuke sfeervolle plek en waren druk opzoek naar een plek voor een corona test. In principe kun je naar een hele hoop ‘farmacia´s’ gewoon last minute bellen voor een sneltest van rond de 25-40 euro met een QR code op papier. Na veel rondvragen kregen we verschillende namen van plekken via locals, terwijl op google bijna niks te vinden was. We hadden de beste milk tea ooit bij een plekje genaamd Kambon en kregen daar ook de tip voor het testbewijs. Deze dag hebben we eigenlijk vooral weer uren lang gewandeld en wat gewinkeld. Vlak voor we naar de luchthaven terug zouden gaan aten we nog zwarte paella bij een leuk plekje aan de zee en probeerde ik roze gin tonic.
This last minute city trip was great fun. What struck me is that you can basically see Alicante city within a day and everything we have spread over 3 days, you can easily do in 1 day. During this trip we also wanted to go to another village such as Calpe, for a cool view from a hill or Altea, but unfortunately that was not very easy without a rental car and so last minute. But I would definitely do this next time if I went back. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the energy to do a lot during this city trip due to our busy schedules and schedules, but nice to keep in mind!

Thanks for reading a new travel diary! From now on I will try to explain everything a little shorter and more concisely so that it remains clear, instead of writing out every word as an actual diary. If you (want to) go to Alicante, I wish you a lot of fun! I hope you have benefited from my travel diary.

Deze last minute citytrip was erg leuk. Wat mij opviel, is dat je Alicante stad in principe binnen een dag hebt gezien en alles wat wij hebben verspreid over 3 dagen, makkelijk in 1 dag kan doen. We wilde tijdens deze trip ook nog graag naar een ander dorp zoals Calpe, voor een gaaf uitzicht vanaf een heuvel of Altea, maar dat was helaas niet heel makkelijk zonder huurauto en zo last minute. Maar dit zou ik zeker de volgende keer doen als ik terug zou gaan. We hadden helaas de energie niet om nog heel erg veel te ondernemen tijdens deze citytrip door onze drukke roosters en planningen, maar leuk om in gedachten te houden!

Bedankt voor het lezen van een nieuwe travel diary! Ik probeer alles voortaan wat korter en bondiger uit te leggen zodat het overzichtelijk blijft, in plaats van ieder woord als een daadwerkelijk dagboek uit te schrijven. Mochten jullie naar Alicante (willen) gaan wens ik jullie veel plezier! Ik hoop ik dat jullie wat hebben gehad aan mijn reisdagboekje.

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? 😂

Guatemala, one of the most heartwarming places I’ve experienced so far. A destination that still crosses my mind almost daily. And now in my top 5 favorites.

After being lucky enough to solo travel to so many beautiful places around the world, Guatemala instantly became one of the places that touched me the most.

The people, the atmosphere, the volcanoes, Lake Atitlán, the coffee, the food, UNESCO Antigua… this country has a soul that is difficult to describe unless you’ve experienced it yourself.

I met beautiful humans I still speak to from time to time, and I’m grateful to now call some incredible Guatemalans my friends.

I travelled here with my new camera, and I’m so thankful I was able to capture parts of this beautiful country through my own eyes, while also collaborating with amazing companies along the way.

I remember my eyes being teary while being on a boat at Lake Atitlan, and the moment I saw the Volcano erupt during the hike - one of the most challenging things I have ever done. 

Some places impress you.
Others stay with you.
Guatemala did both. 🌋🇬🇹

Wait for the end! ✈️ 
Some women wait for love to start living.
I booked the ticket anyway. 

Some of the most beautiful moments of my life happened because I stopped waiting, for permission, for certainty, for someone to come with me.

Solo travelling taught me that freedom can be lonely sometimes, but also deeply empowering. It gave me sunsets in countries I once only dreamed about, strangers that became memories, confidence I never learned at home, and versions of myself I would’ve never met if I stayed safe.

I may not have everything figured out yet, but I’ve lived. Deeply. Wildly. Internationally.
And honestly? That already makes me rich in life.

I know it’s not a possibility for every woman in the world to do this. Something travel also showed me over and over again.

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵
Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum.

I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment.

Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back.

At this villa, everything felt calm.
Safe. Peaceful. Grounded.

Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.

This villa is perfect for a group trip or something like a bachelorette, but I also loved experiencing it in my own way. Having the space to myself, inviting friends over sometimes, and just enjoying the balance between connection and stillness.

That balance felt very aligned with me.

Gracias en todos, @villa_hunab_ku 🤍

Tulum, mi destino mágico 🌙🌴🌵 Some months ago I had the beautiful privilege to stay at @villa_hunab_ku multiple times - an absolute masterpiece and truly my aesthetic dream place in Tulum. I remember sitting in the bathtub on the balcony of the master bedroom, the one I chose out of the five… in complete silence. Just looking out into the trees, feeling the warmth, and realizing how incredibly grateful I felt in that moment. Grateful to be able to create a life where I get to travel, experience places like this, and even work with them. Something that once felt far away, and now feels like something I’ve slowly built for myself - step by step, by staying true to who I am and not letting other people’s opinions define me or hold me back. At this villa, everything felt calm. Safe. Peaceful. Grounded. Waking up slowly, biking through Aldea Zamá to Nimenõ for my favorite coffee and breakfast just a few minutes away… those simple moments that end up meaning the most.
