Castillo de Santa Barbara & San Fernando en Alicante

Castel of Santa Barbaba in Alicante is a place which I thoroughly recommend ... From the top of the mountain where is Castell you can see an extraordinary view on the city and beach of Alicante.
You can get there by car or go by walk, as also take a lift which cost around 3 euros.
My first and last time of visiting i went there by car, second time i go walk and the third i get there by lift.

Honestly I dont really know which method I recommend to get there but if you have enough of strength and energy probably rather go on foot and during walking admire the views. If you are more lazy take an elevator :)
Of course, the way in car is the shortest and most convenient. However, if you are an active turist I recommend going to the castle on foot :)

As a difference I would like to describe little bit the less visited by tourists place which is Castel of San Fernando. While I was there I didn't meet so many tourists visiting like in the castle of Santa Barbara but anyway the view is nice. From this place you can see the city in a different side. Below some pictures of the view from Castle of San Fernandes.
