Nice looking place...

Been at many places at Spain (cities and countryside) but Alicante isn't one of them.

¡Estupendo! Voy a la universidad de Alicante más tarde este verano y, quizás, pueda visitar esta zona.

(Just practising as I'm off to this region in late august!)

Brilliant. You'll love the region's mountains and a the unspoilt areas that can still be found here. What are you going to be studying? Castellano I would presume?

Yes. It's a week's summer school with the Open University. Can't wait!

You may find our Alicantino accent difficult to deal with, but luckily there's not much VAlenciano spoken in Alicante itself so at least the language is one you know.

Best of luck mate. Let me know how you enjoy it.

Glad you liked the pics. Here are a few more. These areas are about 25-45 mins inland from Benidorm, believe that or not.

And finally, who needs a DD hammock, when you have a bedsheet and a couple of bits of nylon rope.

What a fantastic area to play in...

My mother in Law had a place in Pego in that area. It's lovely but a bit dry for me. I like my trees.

My mother in Law had a place in Pego in that area. It's lovely but a bit dry for me. I like my trees.

Its fairly dramatic scenery at times, but like you say, its dry, I also love temperate woodland, but I can camp out here with only a mozzy net to disturb my view of the stars. Most of the time my tarp is at the bottom of my bergen, and stays there, instead of at the top being the first item you need.

Another positive (and negative), we don't have many problems finding tinder, though lighting fires in these areas is subject to c.3,000euro fines regardless of your camp craft expertise and safety awarness levels. So I just take a campingaz stove, not as satisfying to cook on, but cheaper than 3 grand.
