Me alegra que descubras los salazones, en Cartagena también son tradición, y también te gustará si la visitas. Y comidos en pequeñas porciones de menor a mayor intensidad acompañados de almendras fritas para limpiar el paladar entre ellos se suelen servir en bares especializados en tener toda la gama, en Valencia Casa Jomi es famosa por servir sus salazones alicantinos de esa manera. En esa zona alicantina cada parada de tram tiene un video o más, no sé si sabías que en los restaurantes para el verano en Jávea, Denia y alrededores se reservan con un año de antelación. Y hacen unos vinos dulces excelentes y unas cocas, "pseudo pizzas" dignas de mencionar. Los dos arroces más típicos de Alicante (zona) son el arroz a banda con all i oli (hecho con morralla que se come a parte (a banda)) pero antes las galeras eran parte de esa morralla, y ahora ya están tan caras, al igual que el pesado de roca, que es raro que lo ofrezcan en restaurantes a la manera tradicional por no ser rentable), y el de conejo y caracoles, del que hay un restaurante en Pinoso que Ferran Adrià recomienda, por si vuelves por la zona como has prometido. La base de los arroces de pescado alicantinos es la salmorreta (sofrito de tomate con pimiento choricero (nyora) y otros ingredientes, sobre la que te recomiendo entrevistes a algún cocinero (cada uno la hace a su manera).

Gracias por la info!

How do you stay thin and fit tasting all this Wonderful food ? 😊 kind wishes from Iceland

This is TV-quality material.

Hi. I am thinking of retiring abroad from England. What is it like to live thre? All tips gratefully accepted

​​@@Jacquiquinn901You can not be wrong in almost any place in Spain, but Alicante is for sure one of the best places you can go to live. Great nightlife, great beaches and nature, great weather almost the whole year, great food like everywhere in the country, you have the sea but also mountain, nice people, plenty of activities to do, etc. And for me something that people don't normally consider but in my opinion it is important: Alicante is not one of the biggest cities of Spain but has one of the most important airports, which makes it easy to have a bigger traveling offers so you don't normally need to go far if you want to take a plane, as you normally would be able to flight from Alicante. 100% recommended.

We are happy to have you in the nursing home of europe, please do not feel obligated to integrate, or speak the language or learn the culture what for right? feel free to just do your own thing in a gated comunity as yall do. Don´t forget to call yourself expat, so everyone knows you are an immigrant with money.

Welcome to la terreta, la millor terreta del mon.

What country is that?

You spoke for me, I agree 1000%

I just moved to Madrid and I'm loving it! Started with language learning, it's never too late to start all over somewhere else.

Desperately trying to learn the language because I think the same.

​@@AFVEHProbably either England (brexit!) or the US, in which case they never knew Alicante existed.

do you not get bored of going to the same place every year?

Ive been living here for 7 years, i think between the whole alicante city and towns, alicante city is the ugliest of them all, is incredible the magic that the camera made in this video, but the weather is very nice.

@@HugoAlvarezOjeda Alicante is beautiful and a great visit for a few days. Its also one of the most tourist friendly cities in Spain.

​@@Answersonapostcardnot really, I travel quite a lot to new places so it's nice to come back to a familiar place that I love being in.

@Answersonapostcard my opinion only, a friend of mine who came from canada cannot believe how boring and ugly the experience inside alicante was. The food still super good and the beaches are the best

I'm jealous. Enjoy!!!

Te esperamos en Sento Rambla 😊

Qué tal el viaje?

Well, it is not in the South but East Spain. Alicante is in Levante (meaning the rise side = sunrise)

How was it weather wise in January? Thinking of going this upcoming January.

@taryndancer29 very nice and not cold at all.

​@@taryndancer29cold

I love this for you...enjoy!!!

Please learn Spanis if that what you will like. But forget about *flamenco*. Sorry no one care about flamenco these days.

Love flamenco where and about you are studying this dance I have always wanted to do this as well since it symbolize for centuries in Spain

@@msvideotime Flamenco is very passionate and you can study this art form both in many parts of Spain as well as in other countries. You can also do online classes with teachers out of Spain.

I love Triana..Triana morena..verde manojo de albahaca…ramito de yerbabuena…awww beautiful place!

Nice! We would like to get together and get your impressions on the process. Would you like to get a coffee / glass of wine or beer with us? :) p.s. I emailed to your KZfaq channel email

Yes, interesting video but exactly my thought: Alicante underrated?! After Malaga and Valencia, it seems the most hyped part of Spain (based on "moving to/retiring to/living in Spain" groups I've joined). Not saying it isn't lovely and, who knows, maybe I'll end up there. But undiscovered or un-hyped, compared to so many other glorious areas? Definitely not.

mmmmm We eat much better in the north

Awesome!

Enjoy!

How do you get to Alicante from the major airport?

Altea is the most beautiful place on earth!

@@lordmountbatten154 Beauty always is in the eye of the beholder🙂

​@@heythave the Alicante airport has very regular and cheap bus service to the city center, or you can take a taxi for around €20.

@@free1dom11 Ok, thanks.

So glad you're enjoying it!

I thought exactly the same. Last year we went for 11 days and it was amazing 11 days.

@@paweljankowski I was very happy to be wrong...just dont tell the Mr. lol!!!

Try during June 19 to 25 our main holiday "Hogueras de Alicante"

Sounds like a great trip, Barry!

Valencia is an alternative to Alicante cause Alicante is more touristic and cosmopolitan than Valencia. There are more foreign people and bigger airport in Alicante than in Valencia. Moreover Alicante and Barcelona are sea focused cities, Valencia is a typical agriculture and industrial area growing towards the sea, so the city center is far from the sea and the culture is not sea focused, like Alicante, Málaga or Barcelona.

@@user-li1gg8pw8d Yeah, Valencia is a sea city and has been for centuries. It is one of the busiest ports on the Mediterranean. True however that compared to Alicante Valemcia is more industrial and has (relatively per capita )less tourism.

@@corpi8784 I disagree. Valencia grew up surrounded by agricultural fields and orchards, far from the sea, note that its historic center is not next to the sea. Over time they built the port, separate from the city and not only a few decades ago, the city joined the port. 70% of the region's tourism goes to Alicante, 20% to Valencia and 10% to Castellón. Valencia can be compared with Bilbao or Seville, Alicante with Malaga. Valencia port is quite industrial. 9 of the 10 nautical or recreative ports with blue fag are in Alicante, 1 in Castellón and none in Valencia. There is no Russian or USA people sailing in yachts in Valencia, but is normal in Alicante, Ibiza, Malaga. Anyway, that’s does make Valencia worse than Alicante, just different. 10 provinces or touristic areas more touristic in Spain. Baleares, Barcelona, Las Palmas, Alicante, Malaga, Madrid, Costa Brava, Costa Dorada, Cádiz, and then Valencia. More expats living in Spain, Alicante, Malaga, and then Barcelona, Mallorca and Madrid. Then Valencia.

@@user-li1gg8pw8d i don' t exactly know what you're trying to argue here but the major role of Valencia and its port from medieval times onwards cannot be denied. I mean this goes right back to the times of the Spanish Reconquista ,and Valencia and the Balearic Islands share a histroically bond bc of that. The role that maritime trade as well as political expansion in the Mediterranean played especially for the Corona (Crown) of Aragon and later also for the Kingsom of Spain cannot be understimated- and Valencia was one of its main ports for that purpose. BTW no city is the same but there are definetely simlarities in their basic layout that stem from antiquiety and medieval times tnat these cities share and every Spanish city from Barcelona to Sevilla and beyond is surrounded by agricultural areas with smaller towns and communities.

Would love to visit Almeria :)

Thank you!

It was in the video briefly.

Exactly! Crazy.
