Porto to Alicante

DAY 5, LEG 23 - Porto to Alicante

Our next destination is back in Spain as we head east to the Spanish "Costa Blanca" tourist resort of Alicante.  The main tourist area of Benidorm is located along the coast to the north-east of Alicante itself.  A healthy tailwind means a very quick flight time of 1 hour 30 minutes scheduled for this coast-to-coast crossing of the Iberian peninsular.  Although this tour is supposed to be taking a westerly course, we are heading east again to explore some of Europe before heading across the Atlantic.

Parked at Porto next to a TAP A330 shortly departing for Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
