Urbanova / Far de Santa Pola – 8.+9.1.2024

We drove up into the hills on the CV-758 and the CV-775, past Finestrat, Relleu and Aigües. It was interesting, with all the terraces, the mountains, and the winding roads.

The street was already narrow in Relleu, but the chairs made it even narrower!

The soil is very stony – it is surprising that anything grows at all!

We bypassed Alicante and approached the Cabo de Santa Pola from the north, via Urbanova. Alicante can be seen in the background.

In the restaurant „Moments“ we enjoyed a tasty meal 🙂

Urbanova is nothing special – blocks of flats and a promenade. By the way: we saw lots of scooters in Spain, even for two people!

Lots of palm trees everywhere 🙂

After driving around the cap, we headed up to the lighthouse. The street wasn’t in very good condition…

The parking was roughly 200 metres from the lighthouse. The sun was about to set.

They built a „skywalk“ up there!

The view was grande. You could see Alicante and up to Benidorm, and even the rock of Calpe.

The sunset was fantastic even though there were clouds 🙂

We stayed on that parking for the night.

The next morning our water pump broke 😦

Luckily we’re flexible with our route. We drove to Elx / Elche to buy a new waterpump plus connection accessories. We also took this opportunity to wash our clothes. Elx is full of palm trees! Two years ago we visited this town already.

We found a pitch for camper vans in Almoradi. Kurt successfully replaced the water pump 🙂 A map of our distance travelled on these two days.
