It took all day due to flight delays, but I got from Lisbon to my place in Alicante, Spain, and the next morning, I got my first look around in the uncharacteristic drizzle.
I was staying near the Central Market which was huge and impressively filled on two floors with meat, fish, veggies, fruit, flowers, and some stuff for tourists.
I did some shopping and walked along the beautiful beach, pier, and boardwalk. The whole place was classy and upscale.
On Friday, I met my friend for lunch and we had a nice time catching up. I had cod in orange sauce with chard.
My goal in Alicante was to see the place a bit, makes some future plans, and relax, which I did.
