HERE COMES SUMMER!
Not long now and we will be feeling the full effect of a Spanish summer and that doesn’t just mean lots of sunshine but also a doubling of the population in Gran Alacant with people arriving for the hot months and filling the terraces, beaches, bars and restaurants. And who can blame them? This place has an awful lot to offer, especially in summer, and is one of the best locations to be on the Costa Blanca. Let’s look at what we have. A major airport within fifteen minutes, two wonderful and historical (not to mention cultural) cities within twenty minutes driving, and some of the best beaches on the Costa Blanca. Then there’s a nature park, El Clot, a sierra that is enjoyed by hikers, cyclists walkers and nature enthusiasts and not far away the unique town of Benidorm with all its ‘charms’ and mountains and inland lakes a short drive away. Some residents may complain that they can’t find a parking space or there is too much noise from bars in the summer however, Gran Alacant is a tourist destination and with that comes a certain amount of increased activity and quite frankly if we didn’t have the numbers of people we do coming here in the

summer then there would be very few businesses for residents to enjoy at other times of the year. So what brings people to Gran Alacant time and time again? Well, apart from the aforementioned landscape and location, how about the wonderfully diverse range of bars, restaurants, shops and businesses in general we have in Gran Alacant. A cosmopolitan rainbow of commerce aimed at giving people what they want. Gran Alacant is a place where you can have an English breakfast, a Dutch lunch and an Indian dinner if you wished. Or Spanish, Italian, French...I could go on. The terraces of the commercial centres and the pavements will soon be throbbing away to brightly coloured foreigners who are almost turning pink beneath the hot sun before our very eyes. SO if you are a resident in Gran Alacant try and embrace the visitors, who after all are here to enjoy themselves, and appreciate what they bring to our community. These days we have well over 150 businesses open to the public in Gran Alacant and that’s all because of what we have here for them. Let’s keep welcoming them back! Alicante from the castle
