We had decided to stay in Calpe for Christmas Day, so around lunch-time, we went for a wander down to the sea-front.
It seemed surreal to see people dressed in Santa and elf costumes having a picnic on the beach.
It seems that the thing for everyone to do on Christmas Day, is to promenade on the …err promenade. At times, the path became very crowded; we were surprised at how many people there were there.
We managed to find a sea-front bar with some space, where we chilled for a while before returning to the motorhomes for lunch.
A fine, shared Christmas meal, was eaten outside (not something I have ever done before).
That evening after dusk, Alison and I went for a walk around Calpe to walk-off our Christmas pudding. Firstly along the sea-front:
Then up into the old-town:
There is still part of the original defensive walls of the town visible. Inside, there is a church, built into the walls.
