Take off almost on time (only 15mins late) in rain and cold wind.But land in Alicante on time in hot sun. Passport control no problems but alas the buses to Alicante are on strike at last one arrives bearing the legend sevicios minimos. , nothing to do with on board toilets but buses about 1hourly instead of 20minutes. Tony locates the pre-booked b&b and we check in.
After that is like greyhounds out of the traps and hey for tres cevezas
Next it was the Basilica of Santa Barbara for the commencing stamp on our pilgrim passport, cunningly horded by Tony from a previous expedition. And then up to the heights of the Citadel de Santa Barbara. After that there was nothing to do but eat though an exhaustive search along the sea front produced no Sardinas for Tim.
