All the photos on todays blog are from the morning in Alicante as once i started heading south there was little to look at. In fairness the weather was bad and the first 20km or so from Alicante is pleasant but the area around the resort of Torrvieja is terrible. Very depressing to cycle through and although I know Mar Menor can be nice my mood had beeen soured by then. I was looking forward to tonights destination of Carthagena. An almost forgotten corner of spain. The city has a fantastic natural port and the small centre is atrractive enough. I enjoyed the utter spanish-ness of the place and I managed to have good night chatting with the locals in an Irish and Spanish bar near the hotel. I wouldnt be in a rush back to Carthagena but its certainly a millon times nicer than Torreveja and its environs.
