luinalda | Random holiday picspam 1: Alicante (July 2005)

In July 2005, I was in Alicante, Spain and did a one-week Spanish course at the Alhambra Instituto. I lived in a shared apartment with other students from the school. The course was good fun and I loved Alicante. Very beautiful place. <3

Unfortunately, when I got back home and wanted to upload my photos to my computer my SD card was somehow damaged and I lost most of my pictures. :-( I'm very glad that I managed to save at least some of them, but it's still only less than half of what I had originally... *sighs*

view from my room. At the end of the street you can see the Mercado Central.
