Alicante, Spain (2) – Castillo de Santa Barbara
The Castillo de Santa Barbara is located on Mount Benacantil beside the Mediterranean Sea. The walk through the remains of this huge castle area was quite surreal. Well maintained to keep that historic feel, we see things that existed back in the Bronze Age. It was very thought provoking.
The slow climb up

There was a sign that says this was the oven in the kitchen
Ruinas de la Tahona – the grain mill
A wonderful outdoor resting place where we took a break with a cool drink
Macho del Castillo
Tunnel to the elevator that would take us to the Beach
