My favourite holiday spot in Spain

Featured Replies

The closest airport is Alicante (LEAL) at the south of Benidorm and located at the Costa Blanca, about halfway from north to south at the eastcoast of Spain and a very popular holiday destination for us northern Europeans.

Take-off from LEAL in a DC3

Firstcoming holiday stay is from end Sep to begin Oct and temperature is a pleasant +25°C when the sun shines bright. At home about 2000Km north probably around 10°C. I'm looking forward to enjoy. 

Something nice for you to look forward to in the near future. I'm really surprised by the number and concentration of hi-rise buildings.

Lovely set of shots, and I hope you have a good time there. I'm one of those "hell is other people" kind of folk, so it would drive me crazy, but 25C if it's not too busy sounds good. Certainly a great location.

Ryzen 9 7900X, Corsair H150 AIO cooler, 64 Gb DDR5, Asus X670E Hero m/b, 3090ti, 13Tb NVMe, 8Tb SSD, 16Tb HD, 55" Philips 4k HDR monitor, EVGA 1600w ps, all in Corsair 7000D airflow case. Sims in use - 2020, 2024, XP-12 and -11, FSX/SE, P3Dv4.5 and v5.4. DCS and AFS2 installed but rarely used

Fine set of shots, and yes Alicante is a nice place taking some holydays but I'll never be able to handle the apocalyptic programtry buildings, I just don't like it..

cheers 😉

Great shots of the scenery, Ik. Though I prefer

a) to arrive there by a bigger plane and

b) to stay in smaller houses, no skyscrapers.

Enjoy your vacation!
