    Hey guys! We chatted a few months ago. I'm from California and have family from Wisconsin. I've lived in Spain for about 6 years and have never been to Alicante! I need to visit! Congrats to you both on being pregnant! That will be one lucky kid to have two cool parents who love to travel. :)

    Also renting a car in Spain is just next level.. I might have found a new addiction :D

    • @MYTravelBF
      @MYTravelBF  10 місяців тому +2

      If you can, we recommend renting a car to reach some of the smaller villages that aren't as well connected by public transit, especially if you're just visiting for a short time as some of those bus rides can take a looooong time. BlaBlaCar is also a good option for car sharing!

    Good video. Altea is gorgeous but you need to go up toward the church. It's not really a beach destination (having said that my aunt in law has one of the beachside penthouses and it's great drinking on her balcony watching the world go by).
    The waterfalls are worth visiting but ignore the restaurants and it does get stupidly busy during high season.

    • @MYTravelBF

      Luckily, the heat wasn't too bad when we were there. It was quite a bit hotter than Germany though, but we missed the extreme heatwave.

    Alicante is the best city in Spain, beats Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga by a long shot Alicante is cheaper, safer, even more beautiful and better weather all year round

      It depends on where are you at in life. And whats gonna be your lifestyle
      If you come in spain only for the beach and swimming. You dont care about other stuff much. Then allicante is better. Cause its cheaper and also the beach is better. With better climate
      If you like impressive diverse touristic monuments. Have to go to university. Gonna travel a few times per year. Need a high pay job. Love international events. While having the beach near by. Then Barcelona is better but of course more expensive and can be quite cold on winter
      Basicaly if you need a big international city barcelona is the choice. If you want just a city to enjoy the beach. Other things are not that important. Then allicante is better choice

    • @mathewvanostin7118
      @mathewvanostin7118 2 місяці тому

      Also barcelona has a more diverse kind of residents. People from all 5 corners of the globe. From all kind of different motives
      While allicante. Its like you have the same 4 peoples:
      -local spaniards
      - european & maghreb tourist on a road trip or low cost vacation
      - rich retired people from nothern europe, americas, maghreb and middle east
      - son/daughter of rich parents who bought a villa there 😂
      Of course you can find other type of people. But its really the 4 main popular kind of people you find in alicante
      You will almost never find a australian on work vacation visa in allicante or a international student from canada. A japaneese on work visa. Those kind of things you find it in barcelona 😂

    Why does everyone not want to be a tourist? Like, are you from there? Do you not work hard for a vacation? ..Exactly you want to travel and see new things... If its touristy.. perfecty you are a tourist enjoy the disposable income and relax lol

      Because people think it's cool to be snobby about tourists... Most of these places are amazing because of the wealth created by tourists.

    Can you ski there?whats the snow like? Is it white?

    • @MYTravelBF
      @MYTravelBF  10 місяців тому

      Alicante doesn't get snow, even in the mountains, so there isn't skiing here. There is skiing in plenty of other areas of Spain, like Granada, near Madrid, or in the Pyrenees.
