I can't explain why, but somehow, I can't find my place in the town where we moved last year... I am exploring the area and slowly, finding nice places for walks, but I don't feel ready to take out my camera and share it with you guys... Maybe it's just nostalgia for the old place, or the old "area" was indeed more beautiful than the new one... Well, one is for sure, I had the seaside at 3 minutes on foot from my home, and now it's 35 minutes by car... There's that... 😃 As my wife still works in town where we lived before, I used the occasion to go with her last week, and take a walk around the area...

I have probably mentioned before, but in the old place of living, 30 minutes into the mountains by car, there is a mountain spring with fresh water that we would collect and use... As I was in the area, I went to refill our bottles, and found the most beautiful views! At this time of the year, the almond trees are blooming!

The views were great, but unfortunately, the skies were grey and these photos can't reflect the "real picture"... I was hoping that it would look like snow on the mountain, but the cloudy day didn't allow that to capture and transmit...

Luckily, you can't go wrong with the closeup photos of the almond tree flowers! Is it white, is it red, is it purple, or maybe pink? You choose the color that you like the most!

On my way back, I have to stop at least 2 times more to get more photos! This one is probably my favorite... Not just because it looks like you are sitting in a theater with two (flower) curtains on the side, but also because of that LONELY TREE, at the top of the rock! Not sure how it got there, maybe people took the rocks and soil around it, or it just felt right to grow there, but it looks gorgeous!

After getting enough of the mountain fresh air, it was time to sit back in the car and pay a visit to a bit different views...

The next stop is the seaside! The "usual suspect"... This isn't the town where I lived, but it is very close to it... The beautiful Altea!

I still remember this part of the sea shore when at this place, there was no beach at all! There were small ponds where birds were chasing shrimps and small fish, and the sea side was completely covered with big rocks... It was almost impossible to get into the water... A few years ago, they reconstructed the whole area and created this long beach...

While I was walking on the promenade, I noticed these cute small chairs with an improvised table... I had to take a closer look...

It appears that for this bar, you have to reserve a place for your dogs too! 😃 Not too many free spaces, so hurry up! 🐶

As my first-choice pastry shop was full, I had to go with the second-best... Chocolateria Valor is one of the most famous places to go out and eat/drink chocolate products made in this area... The "factory" is located 20-30 km from here and there are many small shops where you can sit and taste high-quality chocolate products!
