The city of Alicante is very different, as I found when walking from the university to the seafront, the best part of five miles away according to Google Maps, although it seemed much shorter on foot.
Incidentally, the tournament, which starts tomorrow, is being held at Alicante University, where I am staying.
The accommodation is mainly used by students, at least in term-time, but is run like a hotel, with 24-hour reception, daily cleaning (including today) and rooms like those of a four-star establishment.
A nice point is that the rooms have fridges - handy when you do not know which shops are going to be open over a public holiday.
As it turns out, a lot of cafes and bars are open today, along with some grocery and other stores.
The main fly in the ointment, with regards to the accommodation, is that breakfast is not until 9am.
But since I have paid only 1.56euros a day for it, I cannot really complain.
