An email Hi Peter, Just a quick email to say I'm sorry, but next month I'm in Dresden for a business trip, so we don't see each other. What a bummer! However, Alicante is a small city with hundreds of things to do in a couple of days. There are lots of hotel to stay in the city center, but my advice is look for an apartment in "airbnb". This website is perfect to choose the accommodation made to measure for you. About food, the Plaza de las Flores is a haven of tapas, you know, snacks designed to be served with drink, especially beer and wine. Being a vegetarian in Alicante can sometimes be a little challenging, but you are lucky, because near to Plaza de las Flores you can find Mana, the perfect vegetarian restaurant. Don´t forget to visit the Real Casino. There are a wide variety of places to visit, but the Old City is the best, narrow streets, the Cathedral..., whole in the same place and comfortable for walking. And finally, take a day and go to Valencia. It´s about an hour of Alicante, but it´s worth the effort. Anyway, I hope you have a fun trip and this information helps. Cheers for now,
