After exploring the south of Spain for the past few weeks today is our last day and we thought that since we are flying out of Alicante, why not visit the city for our last day and we are so glad that we did. Alicante is a beautiful and vibrant city with so much to offer and in our short visit we really loved the vibe. But... did we make a mistake by choosing to visit the highest point in Alicante city right before we had to catch a flight to Scotland... watch to find out!
