Sintra day trip

“In the 19th century Sintra became the first centre of European Romantic architecture. Ferdinand II turned a ruined monastery into a castle where this new sensitivity was displayed in the use of Gothic, Egyptian, Moorish and Renaissance elements and in the creation of a park blending local and exotic species of trees.

Food in Alicante

Food in Alicante is delicious. Every single place that I have visited had good selection and all dishes were tasty. I love tapas and if you do too, you will find Alicante a perfect place for it. I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed about the prices as I found it a lot more expensive than other spanish cities I have visited, for example Seville, but I guess with prices of everything going up, it makes sense. In total, in 4 days, I spent short of 170€ eating out, having breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks out. Is it a lot? Probably yes, but I haven’t really looked for a low cost places, but for places that serve good food, places that were recommended by locals. I did find one extra cheap tapas bar, but I will tell you more about below.
