Last full day in alicante so took it easy again with nice little walks around to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather, we have to take it all we can before heading back to the cold tomorrow. there were a few other restaurants on the list, some were a bit nicer but for our last night we wanted something a bit more easy going and casual so we went toAlma de Barra.
