My first holiday with Finca by Nick

Well I am impressed with the place, it's great here. I have been out everyday so far and I am enjoying the sights. I visited Torrevieja today which is great for walking and shopping, the beach is good too. Here I am with Christine and Willie enjoying the day.

Alicante beach

and Marina

The famous castle is called Santa Barbara and it dates back to the 1600's it is a huge climb but I got to the top. The views are amazing from this point. I don't usually like castles but this was brilliant.



Enjoying a game of darts in the local pub

Having a swim at the villa to cool off.


Relaxing and just enjoying the rest


I saved some energy to have a game of tennis back at the villa

Alicante here we come

This is a lovely place and we all had a good laugh. We bought some gifts at the stalls on the esplande then decided to hit the beach





Wonder if Sue would notice that we have another guest for tea!!!!

relaxing and unwinding

After a morning spent on the markets we headed back to relax at the villa
Willie and Ivor "dancing to the music"

Willie is a good mover and can't resist another dance

Visit to Elder

We had a great day out today in the mountains. We visited a place called Elder and we were able to have a look at the cave houses. People live in them and they are very big inside. Warren said that they keep everyone cool in summer and in winter the whole cave is kept warm.

Our day in Alicante

Michael wanted to try out his new snorkel and flippers in the sea.

Walking on the famous Esplande

It feels like we have just climb "Everest" instead of Santa Barbara castle


I like walking on the beach

Fabulous days out
