Castilla San Fernando is Alicante's second castle a lot smaller than but probably gives the best of Santa Barbara castle and all its glory.
The Castle of San Fernando is a fortress erected almost in the center of Alicante, on Mount Tossal during the War of Independence with the Napoleonic army, between 1809 and 1813. This castle was used as a prison for some time, and its purpose was to provide protection to an older castle - the castle of St. Barbara. The castle got its name in honor of the King of Spain Fernando VII
How much fun does this sound

Taking a tram in Lisbon is one of the most popular things to do in Lisbon. A few things to know 👉The 28 tram is the most popular with its great route through the city. It can get crowded so maybe try taking it early morning to enjoy less crowds. 👉The tram 15 takes you all the way out to Belem 👉Obvious but try and avoid peak times throughout day. 👉Don't get caught paying €3 a trip there are plenty cards available to get cheaper trams with daily, weekly and monthly ootions. We chose to get the €7 daily ticket from the metro that got 24 unlimited tram, train, metro and buses. But there is plenty of options message us for more details #lisbon #visitportugal #visitlisbon #visitlisboa #portugaltram #lisbontram #tramsoflisbon #lisbonlovers
🍽 Lisbon Food recommendation We found this beauty of a restaurant down a back street in the Chiado area of Lisbon called O Portugues Chiado.

One of our best finds in Lisbon was the @antigawinebar. Right in the heart off the city lies this small wine and tapas bar.

Our choices 👉Prawns A Guilho 👉Vegetarain Samosas 👉Ceviche 👉Codfish cake We wished we added 👉Portugese Fish and chips 👉Goats cheese rolls But we were to full Wine 🍷 We chose based on recommendation and our taste from the waiter.
