Backblip 25th Jan: a cove on edge of Alcossebre

Having sent quite some time discussing how happy we would be to spend a long term here, either now or another year, we thought that we should take a look at Alcossebre, just to make sure that the town could support our needs for a longer stay. We walked the dog into town to map out the route and so that we could check out the supermarket. It turned out to be quite  a long walk, with my FitBit clocking up almost 17,000 steps.
