A great place to escape from the dull Moscow winter was found in southern Spain. Moreover, even with a decent number of compatriots, so that it is not boring to celebrate the New Year, which the local passes is quite quiet, unlike Christmas. I really liked the city - a small, cozy, no sensation of nesting, as often happens in winter in resort cities. For 2 weeks one day only the sky frowned, the rest of the days were even hot. The embankment just delighted me - and walk well, and sit down on the bench, and the restaurants inexpensive many. Even historical monuments are a little bit of attractions for lovers. In the center of the city, the city hall and the cathedral, the moving figures stood, and around them the whole evening life flowed with music, fried chestnuts (where without them in Europe!). Illumination New Year, discounts in stores, and in restaurants on summer open terraces and Sangria in the swam pitpus - fiction!
The fact that now is not the season, only omitted blinds on apartments that are leased in the summer. And in the rest of the real summer - tangerines on trees in the park, on the beach full of people sunbathing, someone (probably Russians) even climbed into the water. We were not lying in the city on the beach, they leased a small machine and went to La Mat or La Zenya, there is especially quiet and nice for those who have no noise and activity at home. What is surprising - the hotel in La Zenya worked and in the midst of winter, the elderly English with the pleasure of "separable" on the beach, having entertained by throwing small jellyfish in the sea, which are on the beach a giant number.
The new year in Torreviej was not noisy, only from some apartments were native "Happy New Year" and several desperate companies launched on the Beach of Petard. Again, our were. The Spaniards went outside in the streets of Santa Claus and congratulated all those opposed to the "Felis Navidad", and at night it was not heard. In the next week, the city looked a little sleepily, so they traveled around the neighborhood, they got lost in the area of the pomegranate plantation))), went to Elche and Cartagena, plugged in Hamon and Tourron with a huge discount and returned home to Christmas.
