Strasbourg

Santa Cruz

Nestled at the foot of Castillo de Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz is the oldest part of Alicante. The area is littered with old buildings, cutting edge night clubs, decent terrace bars and restaurants. White-washed houses crowd narrow streets and alleyways … Continue reading “Santa Cruz” →

Art Scene

Alcabaza and Castillo

Málaga

Plaza del Obispo Churches, grand old buildings, crumbling edifices, ancient castles, picturesque winding streets – Málaga has all of those things. We spent a lot of time just wandering the very walkable historic center. We also visited the picturesque pier … Continue reading “Málaga” →
