The city has undergone important changes in recent years, and what used to be a somewhat neglected port has been transformed into a modern and cosmopolitan city popular with tourist from all over Europe in search of some of the beast beaches in Spain, with clean, almost white sand and lots of sunshine all year round. It is therefore no wonder that Alicante airport is one of the busiest airports in of the Spanish mainland, very close after the airports Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga with regard to the number of passengers who use the airport of Alicante as the gateway to their holiday accommodation on the Costa Blanca.
The city of Alicante is a lively and interesting place with wonderful attractions as well as a lively nightlife and great restaurants and tapas bars. The main tourist attraction of Alicante is the Castillo de Santa Barbara (the castle of Santa Barbara), a big medieval fortress with great views of the city and the bay of Alicante. Stroll around Alicante to discover the numerous cathedrals, churches and museums that can be found throughout the old town.
Other popular attractions in the area are Terra Natura, Terra Mitica and Mundomar. The attractions are located in Benidorm, which is located about 45 km northeast of Alicante and is one main attraction along the Costa Blanca. Surrounded by high mountains, Benidorm is perfectly protected against the cold winds. Therefore, the weather in Benidorm stays very mild even all year round.
In Alicante there are areas of outstanding natural beauty in the nearby mountains like Guadalest of the Cuevas del Canelobre. Guadaleste is a remarkably picturesque village which attracts many tourists who visit the town for its famous castle ruins. Guadalest lies atop a ridge in the Sierra de Aitana Mountains and enjoys wonderful panoramic views offered by its elevated position. The Cuevas del Canelobre lie approximately 25 km northeast of Alicante. Guided tours of the cave are offered at reasonable rates making it a worthwhile excursion from Alicante.
It may not always be easy to get to these spots, but it is well worth it because you will find yourself all alone on some breathtaking country roads. If you want to discover these places on your own we recommend to hire a car at Alicante airport or your holiday resort on the Costa Blanca. Alicante airport is a popular destination with many low cost airlines and you will find a number of car hire companies to choose from when you get of the plane. But if you really want to get a bargain rental car the best thing to do is to book your car hire on the internet as car hire companies in Alicante may be able to offer you lower prices if you book online.
If you visit Alicante in the month of June don't miss the St John's Bonfires which is one of the city's major festivals based on the ancient custom of burning objects to celebrate the summer solstice. The highlight of the event is a fireworks display on the concluding night of this popular festival.
Soap is made up of lard and we have fat. Sometimes we have rough bobbly skin that could practically sand down wood. Soap can be made with little jojoba beads which helps exfoliate our skin thus smoothing the surface. It comes in different colours like us; even the extravagant ones like purple, sometimes people's circulation can give them a blotchy purple look to their skin or if we get cold we glow purple, like raving "glow in the dark" sticks. Its ingredients act like our family trees tracing all over the world back to where we are today.
Imagine being a type of soap for a day, being slowly squelched out of a dispenser for the one purpose of ensuring cleanliness and the eliminating of bacteria. I suppose in a way being soap if just like being human you are born whole but slowly over time after what happens to you bits of you are just used up.
Everyone has their own smell, we all know that, they even made a film about the importance of people's smells. 'Perfume: The Story of a Murderer' where he killed just to possess people's smells. A little creepy yes, but still the fact that we all have our own smells is just like soap. There's the good smell like my favourite honey and milk to the overpowering scent like when people wear too much perfume causing your nostrils to physically feel like they're burning! Of course all scents depends on a person own personal opinion. The more expensive soap dispensers always seem to be the more natural smells like lavender or fresh floral scents. Why is it that the value range of soaps seem to smell much more chemically? Is it that which makes them so much cheaper? Are people like that? Those defined as the 'cheaper' range do they have a more man-made chemical smell? Personally I think that may be our first major difference between man and soap!
The first thing we'd experience as soap is like being born, our wrapping is opened and we are set on the side to complete our task keeping hands clean! Obviously life is a little more complicated for humans than just simply being there to keep us clean. I imagine it would be a pretty lonely existence unless it was like 'Toy Story' where everything else like the soap would come alive. Imagine a face wash and shaving foam having to put aside their differences like Buzz and Woody just to try and make it back home. Of course there is always the fear of 'running out'. Something I'm sure humans can relate to soap about the fear of the unknown. Maybe we can think of a happier note for the soap dispenser cases, being thrown out going to a landfill site and living the rest of their life happily in the company of the other rubbish. Of course the soap itself, would have been up just like the bar soap. Perhaps this idea is a little too much like 'Toy Story' as the Toys fear they will be thrown away or worse forgotten. What if in everyday life we could relate to something as simply as soap dispensers. Maybe it would help us appreciate the littler things and see the bigger picture enabling us to enjoy the best parts of the day.
