Go on a new trip, you are always interested in what places it is advisable to visit for a sightseeing purpose to divest your vacation and get more impressions from it. When I planned my trip to Spain in Hawaius, I previously included three cities on Costa Blanca, Denia, which is closest to Hawa, Benidoral, glorious as Spanish Miami, and Alicante, the resort capital of the Costa Blanca region. But after the arrival, I had to adjust their plans a little, but later.

Benidoorm was the first to meet, the most scattered city among tourists throughout the coast. It was once an ordinary fishing village, but later, the mayor began the construction of a modern tourist city in an American manner with skyscrapers, large sandy beaches, a variety of tourist infrastructure. Video and photos of the city on the Internet were fascinated and intrigued, so there were not any expectations.

The road from Havei to Benidoroma took almost two hours on a local bus towards Alicante in a fairly picturesque area along two interesting resort cities, such as Calp and Altea, alas that could not be familiar with. Finally, skyscrapers were moving in the sun and getting acquainted with Benidorm.

I will say at once, Benidoral is not for introverts, there is no silence and peace of mind from the word at all, the city of Mega is overflowing with tourists and vacationers, a party and a nightlife are a style of local recreation.

In the bars and on the streets of a crowd of drunken and noisy English people, street musicians encourage the public and make money on it, the beaches are crowded, despite the beginning of the season, its music is pouring from each bar and restaurant. This is such a cockaphanic with multilingual noise, songs, crowds not quite sober holidaymakers and are the main business card of the promenade by the sea in benidoral, and numerous skyscrapers are perceived not more than the Instagram Background. Walking through the streets of the Old Town, our small company came to the perhaps the most instagram place in Benidoral, it is a balcony of the Mediterranean, a small cape, a protruding sea, which ends with stairs and a viewing platform, which is called either the eye or the balcony of the Mediterranean. The place is very popular, to be photographed alone is very problematic, we even watched there

Wedding photo shoot.

This cape separates Benidoral, or rather the beach area of the city, into two halves, Lwante beach on the left, and the pine tree. We did not go to the right part of the city, although at first the plans were lifting to the observation deck on the high skyscraper, but here on the Lwante beach even managed to buy, because the hot weather contributed to it. Benidoral beaches are sandy, the entrance to the sea is gentle, the rest on the beach is also the sea. We had to have lunch in the old part of the city, the pizza was delicious, the price is smart, and the beer bottle reduced a slightly pleasant impression of a noisy, crowded city. By the way, prices in restaurants more distant than promenade were even more democratic. Therefore, the extrovert of Welcome to Benidorm.

Returning home from Benidoorm, a road episode that is worthy of attention was with us. Both in Valencia and Benidoral, where there are large bus stations, and apparently it is everywhere in Spain, I did not see the cash desk of the bus station, and there is a couple of ticket machines, near which the employee is on duty, which helps to buy tickets when necessary. As that this employee is busy with some person, he does not pay attention to you, even though you are late for a flight, the Spaniards in such cases are very delicate and official.

It happened with us, and when there was three minutes left before the bus departure, she replied that the ticket sales was over this flight. I had to persuade the driver so that he received a fee on his onboard terminal and printed tickets, because they did not go there without them. By the way, all drivers, when designing tickets, kindly give a discount without any documents, like that a person says he is retirement age. Amazing nearby.

The second city near Havei, in which I got on my own, was Denia. This city is the administrative center of the region, the size of a habet, with its ancient history, from which the ancient fortress remained. There is also a large port in the city, which has a connection of parama even with the Bolear Islands, so wanting to reach Ibitsa. In addition to getting acquainted with the historical past of the city and its fortress, I still had the interest to visit the weekly market in the city, which I did.

On the left of the port in Denia stretched sandy beaches of the city, which is well visible from the fortress, but to check their quality in my plans was not included. The city seemed to me quite cozy, comfortable, with paid alleys along pedestrian streets. Also liked the local indoor market in the old part of the city, where traditionally combined outlets with local gastronomic delicacies with numerous bistro and cafe. The city has their fans and rest, but I have never seen a crowd of tourists.

The next city that I planned to visit on Costa Blanca was Alicante, it is the tourist capital of this region with their own airport, from which the artistically decorated waterfront, a street with ornamental mushrooms, which was previously a red lantern street, and the city -lanterment, is most likely to be shown.

But the program of stay both in Hawaius itself and beyond was so saturated that the limit of time of stay began to operate and a sense of emotional pressing appeared, so the decision of the trip to Alicante was made until the next times. Here in such journeys on Costa Blanca and relaxation by the sea and the time spent on vacation has passed. A farewell visit to Valencia stayed, but I have already talked about it.

The flight to Krakow went with any delay, then I had to burst a little, because the bus ticket to Lviv was booked for 1.10, and during the night we just went down the plane. And here the call on the phone, the dispatcher Pavlyuk Trans called, worrying whether I have time for a flight. Therefore, sincere thanks to the carrier, as well as waterfone, which provided free roaming for the entire trip abroad.

The person first dreams, then plans his goals, gave he thinks how to fulfill them, and in the end of their actions, it achieves the realization of their dreams and plans into life. This is the algorithm of happiness and a sense of victory.
