Well deserved lay in till about 10:30am. Left hotel at about 11:00am for some breakfast and then back to hotel for checkout before 12:00pm. Wandered around old town on way to Santa Barbara Castle. The castle is accessible via a tunnel through the mountain to a lift which takes you 320metres up through the mountain and you pop up inside the castle. Great views of Alicante, great place to chill out for a couple of hours before flying back.
Waited half hour for airport bus and it took about 30 minutes to get to airport this time.
Alicante airport is actually rather good and I was actually happy that the plane was delayed by 30 minutes.
Shops are good and plentiful, 1 litre of Jack Daniels can be had for �15 so snapped two up! Spent some time in the Ars cafe, and the haagen das ice cream bar - rediscovered vanilla icecream, had mine with hundreds and thousands.
Overall I rather like Alicante as a city, its not too big and it would be very easy for me to come back as in just a couple of days I know my way around it.
