On Friday 18th September we left Torrevieja for Alicante, from where we had booked a flight to return home for a brief period. After the trauma of the previous noght we were not sorry to leave, yet we felt in many ways Torrevieja had much to offer and we certainly came across some very decent folk there.
 
In Alicante there is a mixture of old and new and towering above the town is the castle of Santa Barbara, which we had to climb up to (although there is a lift for those not so inclined).
