All Around Alicante

I think I have finally caught you all up thus far on most of the major events going on here in Alicante! I absolutely have fallen in love with Spain and it makes me sad to think I have already been here for two months. But dont worry, I do miss you all! (Yes, mom, I am still thinking about you) ;)

This past weekend I gathered a group together to go on a day trip to a little town about an hour and a half away by tram called Benidorm. It is similar to Alicante, but has a larger beach and more sites to see. I wanted the group to get together to go and see what is called Fonts del' Algar. Algar is a small town that has a hiking park with a beautiful waterfall that you can cliff dive off of. We all hiked up a mountain and finally reached the falls and spent the day there swimming and flipping off a huge waterfall into the emerald water. I live a tough life, I know I know.

La Cascada (The waterfall)

The water was beautiful!

My friend Julianne and I mid-jump. We both forgot swim suit bottoms (typical), so the guys had to lend us some clothes, whoops!

We made it off the falls!


After the Waterfalls, we all went back to Benidorm and spent the afternoon and night on the beach there playing a pickup game of soccer with some locals. The beach was gorgeous and we all will definitely be back when the weather gets even hotter!
