in Albufereta? When?
a team anthem Alicante:
"Alicante has three beaches, which are very famous in Spain ..."
But if we made this statement we would leave out two beaches. When I say in Alicante there are three famous beaches I mean the San Juan, to the Albufereta and Postiguet (which include coconut), leaving out of Babel and Urbanova, objectively less known. We can therefore say that it has five beaches Alicante (leaving out the coves).

Is Lap Banding Covered By Ohip
The first two mentioned would be the Urbanova and Babel. The third would be the beach of San Juan . It might imagine farmers to their land over a hundred years ago, the beginnings of tourism with some hotels and summer residences and projects like those supported by Lorenzo Carbonell or the Muguruza, some famous villas like Carmen Sevilla ( Though in the beach Muchavista) or remember those days where the beach balls and beach umbrellas colonized and clubs like the Penelope and I-I (there is a building with his name occupies the site) is liven up the night ... I remember that song from the Rebels:
"... See you in Ibiza, Mallorca, San Luis and Mahon, dance in Valencia Alicante and Benidorm from Scale to Playa San Juan in Cadaqués, in Sitges, Playa Libertad, will be elected at the time of the god of the sea ... "

The fourth of the beaches of Alicante would Playa del Postiguet , which owes its name to shutter near the wall. was the first to be colonized by the summer (* 1), 
for spas and bathing suits so different from those of today. This beach that Madrileños came after the 18 hour trip on the train Boulot, so called from having to equip people with jugs for water because the trip was very slow and hot [The first of these trains were put into launched on 20 August 1893 and the last in 1917].

(* 1) The Provincial Newsletter June 20, 1834 announced a solicitation for the bathroom: "In the wooden house enough with three divisions each one for a family, which is placed next to the dock, at a depth of water provided for all ages. These first houses were located in front of the current House Carbonell, on port
We are currently in one of those cities that historically has had a central beach and is overlooking the sea. From the Valencia are the only major city with that feature. The ten most populous towns of the Community are: Valencia, Alicante, Elche, Castellón, Torrevieja, Orihuela, Gandía, Torrente, Benidorm and Sagunto. Of these only have sea outlet: Valencia, Alicante, Torrevieja and Benidorm. Both Castellón and Sagunto and Gandia have landlocked by port but through other cities such as Puerto de Sagunto and Gandia Graos Castellon and therefore can be considered interior cities. Of which we have been (Valencia, Alicante, Torrevieja and Benidorm), the only major city with the sea was Alicante, Torrevieja and Benidorm as were smaller towns and Valencia despite that today reaches the coast once it was the same happens today Castellón, was inside. Hence lies the importance of Playa del Postiguet. That range gives the city access to the sea ...
La Quinta beaches and no less important is the beach of Albufereta . It could be said to be full of bathers or so while the beach of San Juan, which underwent a major change after the construction of the Colonia Romana, initially offered to all those who had to stand at the beach ( following the ban on this type of stands).

The origin of the name of this beach is evident it was a small lagoon that was drained by the "fashion" that the marshes were a nest of disease transmission (now protected). I imagine that 100 years ago this Albufereta was much smaller than it was for 2000, as if the Romans were equipped with a landing in what is now channeling the final stretch of the gorge is because a larger size available.
This beach surrounded by rocks that protect streams (just opposite the Playa San Juan), is historically attacked by pollution sewage (something that seems to have solved) and now by building materials brought to the beach after the rains in October and November 2007. These works are necessary but can not be that we are still stuck in them ... acara Is government involved? You want to make things right? What is clear is that must be completed before the start of summer vacation as they are part of the image of Alicante, are part of the history of our city, they began the resort of Alicante .
Image No. 6 for the rains of September 2007. Albufereta. Let's see if we soon see completion of the concrete walls (which I hope to be lined with stone hands, as is being done in Sangueta and the Carretera de Valencia), and not left as a foreign element, to clean the water in the building materials ....
