natural park is just across the road from our apartment 😎
¿Sabías que la malvasía es el único pato que casi siempre lleva la cola levantada? En esta imagen, tomada en a una hembra de la especie, podemos ver que es así. Es esencialmente acuática y suele sumergirse cuando se siente amenazada o para buscar comida. Aunque vuela, suele hacerlo cuando es estrictamente necesario y su despegue es lento.

😎😎 Latest Guest Review 😎😎
“The apartment is in an ideal location with two pools nearby as well as lots of bars and restaurants across the road (very short walking distance). The beach is also only a 15/20 min walk away with crystal clear water and white sandy shores. Jackie was very helpful and prompt with any questions or concerns we had and also Andi and Martyn (property managers in Gran Alacant) were excellent. We are already looking to book again. Next time we will book a car just so we can explore further but it’s not required as the blue train stops right outside the front gates. All round excellent holiday, thanks for letting us stay.”
