Spain 2010 Benidorm, Calpe & Jalon Valley

On this part of the trip we stayed with Danielle's uncle Jim. He's lived in Benidorm Spain for the last 7 years. It is a huge crazy British tourist city, it has the second most skyscrapers to NYC crazy. Normally this wouldn't be the type of place we would even stay. But with Jim's local knowledge we were able to see some amazing places only 10 minutes away. His condo is amazing, it's on the top two floors of a high rise facing the beach. We stayed there for two nights and packed in a ton. He took us to a neighboring beach town Calpe which I really enjoyed it's a small fishing village. We then went to Jalon Valley which is a big wine producing area. We went to a winery were Jim filled up his Jugs for 2 euro. Danielle and Jim managed to taste most of the wines for free yea. We had lunch at a great family ran restaurant
La Piscina, then head back to Jim's place for a nap. We really enjoyed our time in Benidorm and it was great seeing Uncle Jim. Hopefully we'll make it back to visit again.
