The Castle of Guadalest

Castle on the mountain #El Castell de Guadalest #Spain On both sides of the road to the castle, there were souvenir shops. As far as I could see, almost all of them were Spanish tourists. Most of them came as couples, some young people, some old people. There were not many children, probably because it was the beginning of the school term. Don't even mention tour buses. I didn't see any. The castle was built with each room and floor designed to match the existing mountain peak. The stairs wind and curve according to the shape of the rocks. The buildings and gardens were built to match the shape of the mountain with many sharp peaks. It was very late when we finished sightseeing. We returned to our accommodation at around 8 pm. We weren't hungry at all, so we skipped dinner, saving another meal. The sun was still shining, but it was too late to go anywhere else. I asked the owner where there was a place to walk in the evening. She said there was a small village in front of the castle, which I had been to, and in Benidorm, which was 22 km away, a 30-minute drive away. It was a seaside town that could be seen from the distance. It was clearly visible from our accommodation because it was a house on a mountain. We decided not to go because even though the sky was still bright, it was already late. The view here is overall OK, strangely enough, but what impressed me the most was the view along the drive. This place seems to be a tourist attraction for Spanish people in particular, because it is far from the tourist city. The hotels are not large enough to accommodate a large number of tourists. You have to stay here, not on the way like other places that are suitable for tourist attractions. No one spoke English with me. I had to use special skills to communicate, but it was no problem. The people were lovely and did not look down on us at all (unlike England, which I just went to). After 3-4 days, I feel like I like Spain more and more. #Spain #Europe
