ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
This week our roving retirement trip to Spain saw us go from Almeria to Malaga. On this trip we are looking for places we might like to live in, even for a short time. Malaga is now on the shortlist, we really liked its warmth, and vibe, there was enough to do, proximity to the beach, and good food.
One point of our roving retirement trip to Spain is to decide which towns we might like to visit for a longer time in the future. So far, we have really liked every town we have visited, Alicante is no exception. All real towns in Spain must have a castle, Alicante has two.
Our visit to Valencia wouldn’t be complete without a thorough evaluation of all of the culinary specialties available in this unique city. In addition to a central market there is the unique Paella Valenciana and Agua de Valencia, yummy.
The next stop on our roving retirement Spain & Portugal tour was Tarragona, a bit southwest of Barcelona. After a little research, I found that Tarragona has Roman Ruins that are listed by UNESCO and I’m all over that. In addition, there is a small beach town a little south of Tarragona called Salou that we check out.
One of the special things about our roving retirement nomadic life is sampling all of the food and wine available in the places we visit. So, we decided to take the time to visit both the wine regions of Penedès and Priorat, which are inland from Barcelona and Tarragona.
