32-day stay in Alicante, Spain

19 February 2023 - 23 March 2023

My brother went there for internship at University of Alicante, and I decided to join him for a month. I wanted to see how is it like to live in a place like this. Throughout the whole trip we attented many ESN activities, meeting people from all over the world.

Here are some notes I took about Alicante as a place to live:

Pros

• Very warm winters
• Not that expensive, a little bit higher than Poland.
• Very nice and helpfull people
• Culturally diversed.
• A lot of outdoor activities, because of the beach and climate.

Cons

• People not speaking english, even in stores in the city centres
• Quite dirty and smelly.
• No self checkout at stores
• No bike renting, scooter renting or anything
• Tap water isn’t drinkable, or is very disgusting, smelled like chlorine.
• Decent public transport, it often displayed wrong stops.
