1. Have “churros con chocolate” for breakfast. This is the typical winter breakfast in Spain. And unlike other typicalities advertised to foreigners, this is one that Spaniards actually do. Warning: if you look at calorie counting, sorry, but this breakfast may not be for you. But… If your motto is YOLO and you are convinced that you are totally worth it, then keep reading! Imagine some very thick tempting hot chocolate in which you dip fried crispy dough rolls, the churros (pronounced ˈChooros ). The contrast of flavors and textures makes it a sublime way to start your day! But don’t be fooled: hot chocolate should be served in a china cup and churros should be freshly fried, still warm and sugar-sprinkled. Did you sleep in that day? Churros and chocolate make a perfect afternoon snack too, ideal just before doing what comes next.
2. Walk barefoot on the beach. Did you know average temperatures in Alicante are hardly under 60 ºF during winter months? Regardless of the season, you will always be able to enjoy a nice stroll on the beautiful beaches Alicante has to offer. Whether you are an early bird or a night owl, just do it. Imagine yourself getting up early and having the whole beach only for you, or having a night walk under the moon and stars… Beaches in Alicante are raked and sieved regularly and daily maintained by the Council. They are also very safe to walk around. So go all-Tarahumara: the sand will be a relaxing foot massage. One cannot help but think of all the people who disembarked in this very same beach, as early as 6,000 B.C.
3. Try to say it in Spanish. Remember: practice makes perfect. Any chance is a good one to practice your language skills. For instance, visiting a farmers market to buy some fruits seems like an excellent plan to mingle with locals and read food names in Spanish. Stall staff is always friendly and with smiles on their faces. They will advise you on the freshest food in season. Since they usually don’t speak foreign languages, they will do their best to be understood. Please do not try this experience in a hair salon. If your Spanish is not fluent enough, it is advisable to get your hair cut back at home.
