The city
Alicante, or Alacante as the city
is known in Catalan, is called ”the
friendliest town” in Spain. In the
evenings the local population
gathers in El Barrio, the Old Town,
and meets up with visitors from all
over the world. Spanish and English,
along with some sign language and
lively gestures, are apparent among
the conversations which often end in
a mutual toast.
