Shrapnel damage and the air raid shelter in Plaza Balmis

You don't have to look far to see the lasting signs of the Civil War in Alicante. My general advice is to make sure that you look up! The railing around the old fire station, which is now the home of the Civil War museum, are a classic example. Just look closely and you will see where shrapnel has bent and gouged the uprights. A couple of blocks away the air raid shelter in Balmis Square now has a proper entrance. I've still not been able to get in there as the hours for access are limited and depend on having enough visitors to make it worth while. Just something else that I need to sort out.
