A great day out in the biggest shopping centre in the provence of Alicante. So many shops to choose from but the most popular seemed to be Decathlon and Primark.. A nice sunny day for walking around and taking a break in the many bars and cafes. Definitely recommended. We were very lucky to have a very friendly and patient driver Augustin. Thanks to Ifach buses and to Christa who was a great help liaising with the driver in Spanish. Photos by David Stockton and Marie Noonan
