alicante -- escaping once, escaping twice

so today i took the bus to alicante. i had slept long into the day and even then not hurried, so that i had only 2,5 hours to spend in alicante -- between the two 2,5-4 hour bus rides. but that was still fine. alicante is even less interesting and less pretty than valencia -- and smaller, too, of course. so two hours were totally enough for that place. i don't mind bus rides either -- in the contrary: i enjoy them. the first ride was actually rather interesting as the bus stopped in several villages/ small towns, so that i could get an impression of them as well. most exciting was the city of benidorm, which seems to be entirely made up of high rises. -- an almost surreal view.
tomorrow i will go back to barcelona, my last day. and i will love it all the more as i do know now that its beauty and atmosphere are unrivaled.
