Spice Girls Spanish Style

A couple weekends ago, in the Barrio Santa Cruz, there was this "concert" of people lip-syncing famous songs. Some were techno (with little to no words) some were Spanish, and some were English.

One of the English ones was The Spice Girls. There were 4 above-the-age-of-forty women dressed as the famous group, along with a mannequin, lip-syncing the hit "Wannabe."

It was weird but very entertaining, as you could probably guess.

Want to view it? Well you can! Right here.

Fotos! Fotos! Fotos! Part 2


Park that runs along the water



HUUUGE trees in this park



Parque de Canalejas: that is what it's called




If you ever look up a pic of Alicante, this might be what you see, L'Explananda




Every single tile was hand-laid



Private casino...by invite only!



First four kings' initials were A, L, L, and A, which is interesting because it spells the word for God in Arabic...and they have a strong Moorish history. By the way, this is the coat of arms for Alicante.




The ayuntamiento in El Barrio



Old part of town




Palm trees are everywhere!




Heading up to the Santa Cruz area. Super Cute



Isn't it lovely?





You can see the castle from Santa Cruz
