On Olla Beach, Altea

Take a tram north out of the Lucheros terminal in the centre of Alicante and you get some fantastic views as it winds its way up the coast towards Bendidorm, change for Line 9 and it will connect you up to the route even further up the coast to Denia. Its not the swiftest journey and on the day I travelled there was a connecting bus part of the way but, as always in Spain, there was a bar close by for the wait and I was in no hurry. The trip to Olla just up from Altea was well worth it. One of the finest preserved bunkers of the Civil War's Mediterranean Wall and in amazing nick bearing in mind it is partly in the sea. Lovely bar cum restaraunt close by for a drop of tinto and a pincho of tortilla and it was off back for the winding journey south as the clouds gathered.
