On top of being super supportive on all things academic, the USAC staff also planned some field trips for us. This past weekend we went to three sites fairly close to Alicante: Guadalest, Fuentes del Algar, and Calpe.
Guadalest is a small village - only about 200 people live there. There were stunning views of the mountains, the Embalse de Guadalest, and the Mediterranean out east.

Los Fuentes del Algar are a wetland area protected by the Valencian government. It was absolutely beautiful, but I don't think I have ever swam in colder water in my life...and that's coming from a swimmer.

Calpe is one of many beaches along the Costa Blanca. The waves were larger here than in Alicante's Playa del Postiguet, but this beach had jellyfish....no me gustan las medusas.

| So clear!! |
