Europe Fall 2024 - Altea Or What Did You Do On Valencia Community Day?

We at de-Intimidator work our hardest to be responsive to our loyal readers. You asked. More Seaside Villages with Old Town Pictorials! We respond

(Wait! You said NO MORE seaside villages with old town pictorials? Oopsie.)

 So it was off we went to Seaside Village with Old Town 35 of 878 (that's just here on the Spanish Mediterranean Coast - actually I just made those numbers up. But there are a heck of a lot of them)

As we set out, we looked out and noticed all the supermarkets were closed. As we drove we noticed all the stores and gas stations were closed. I posed to Wife, "I wonder if it is a holiday today?" I went online and sure enough, it was Valencian Community Day for the Valencia region. What did you do to celebrate? Post your pictures in the comments.

 How Do We Tell the Difference between Altea and Calp?

Altea is white not greay

 

 

 No Spanish Steps

 A 'Real' Old Church

You can see Calp and the Ifac from Altea. You can't see Altea from Calp

Would we live up in a town like this?

You can clearly drive up

If you don't mind backing your car up most of the way!

Artwork Study

I saw this at the church and am pretty sure it is a Madonna and Child.

Interesting expression on the Mother

But is this really a picture of a young or infant boy?

Getting a Close Encounter with Espouses Fotograficus Hispanicus

In all the years I've been tracking the Espouses Fotograficus, I've never actually gotten close to one. Today I said, "I am going to make direct contact!"

SUCCESS!

I am hoping, really hoping that the 'kinder' noted below among the ice cream flavors is not the German word for children.
