La Playa San Juan (By a tourist)
Three years a go I went to Playa San Juan (Alicante) for the first time. My children had moved to this beautiful spot in the world. I had only heard about this place but not a lot, in reality the fame is taken by its surrounding citites.
I was pleseantly surprised to see that I was in a city undergoing rapid evolution, with an ideal location, excellent travel communication, by land, sean and air. Wherever I looked I saw buildings being constructed as well as public organiations being developed. I saw the start and at last the completion of the Paseo Maritimo; and ideal place to meet family or friends, or just sit at one of the many bars or “chiringuitos” (which have also been reformed) to drink a beer, wine or cofee.
I’m very happy that my children have chosen thisbeautiful piece of land to live, this way my grandchildren will be able to enjoy the beach, great weather and a quiet community. Hopefully someday I can join them and live there myself.
The picture above was taken from my good friend R.Nodal’s apartment; from there you can see the modern buildings of the seafront and the mountains in the distance; mountains which I miss because even though I live in a beach (Miami) it is a flat as a billiard table and being originally from Asturias..I think you understand.
