ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
For years, people have talked to us about going to San Sebastián Spain to eat. That is because there are more Michelin stars per capita in San Sebastián, a town of 200,000 people, than any other place on earth. We decided to visit San Sebastián, the foodie mecca, even though it was a 7-hour drive from Santiago de Compostela.
We left some extra time in our schedule on our roving retirement tour of the Iberian peninsula. Neither of us had been to Galicia and our research told us that we should definitely visit Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia.
Seville was not on our original Spanish tour list, but we realized we hadn’t really seen the city on our last trip to Spain and we had to drive right through it anyway on our way to Portugal. So, we decided to give the city another look along with a day in Cadiz.
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.
