Tuesday 16 February

A cloudy windy day blew us into Alicante. To escape the breeze we headed for the MACA Alicante Museum of Contemporary Arts  http://www.maca-alicante.es/  It currently has Miro as the centerpiece of its exhibitions (no photography allowed).

The gem of the day however was our lunch stop at a place not much bigger than a large bus shelter called Cerveceria Sento, it was worth the squeeze for a great Spanish taste sensation.

Altea is one of the few remaining coastal whitewashed pueblo villages that hasn’t been consumed by the highrise development of the Costa Blanca.

The most unexpected find in our visit to Altea was cake heaven at De Sabors pastelería.

Hidden in the pebbled street scene was this modern designed establishment with cakes that are some of the best to be seen or tasted, both  playful in design and presentation. If you ever visit this area, try to fit this place into your itinerary on a cold winter’s day. Summer weekends you may not get a look in the door http://www.desabors.com/www.desabors.com/desabors.html genius.
