Lake District

 This postcard was sent by Richard




Ross Fountain and Edinburgh Castle

 Despite the short time and the windy weather, it was a very fun and unforgettable weekend.






Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh

 I feel like there were still a lot of things left to see, so I would love to go back, even to get to know more of the country.




Scott Monument, Edinburgh

 I wanted to go up to the top of this monument but two people in our group were afraid of heights, so no one went up.




St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh

 It was totally worth it. I loved the city and its monuments.




Princes Street, Edinburgh

 In fact, we only had Saturday to enjoy the city, as we arrived very late on Friday and left very early on Sunday.




Edinburgh Castle from the Dugald Stewart Monument

 A few years ago my wife, a couple of friends and I went to Edinburgh for a weekend

Tabarca Island

We didn't go to Tabarca, which is a good reason to return someday. However, we took a quick trip to Elche but I didn't find any postcards from there.




Basilica of Santa Maria, Alicante

 I enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Because it was still low season it wasn't croweded. The view from the castle is amazing, there are a few more nice monuments to see and the walk along the seafront under the palm trees is very pleasant. 




Harbour of Alicante and Castle of Santa Bárbara

 We went with a cousin of mine with whom we had agreed to go on a weekend somewhere where none of us had ever been to, so the choice fell on Alicante.
