What a two weeks this have been! Right after my announcement newsletter, I received a totally unexpected “avalanche” of feedback from you. Following my rather difficult past year(s) (with just too many health issues), I was totally overwhelmed by the over 200 comments posted from you on last weeks blog post.
Wow – some of your comments literally brought tears to my eyes. Thanks a lot!
For those of you who did not see last weeks email, we relaunched the alicante-spain.com website in a totally new design and with a much more flexible “backend”. (Which I guess means it makes life easier for us to directly respond to your comments and questions. ) Anyway despite our fears the site is running relatively smoothly, except for being “hit” by around 8000 visitors at once like last Sunday. Thank you for some of your comments which helped us improving some features.
A New Idea For Alicante-Spain.com – Would be great if you could share YOUR story?
Over the past years we received a lot of great stories about your time at the Costa Blanca. Many of you told us what they liked or did not like so much about their stay… others … especially those of you who have been living around here for quite some time, sent us great ideas especially on sightseeing attractions we should recommend to our users.
We did never have much of a chance to publish those travel stories or “living here” stories with our old system. Now, on the new site, we can do this.
So lets try it and see if I can get a couple of you “Costa Blanca Veterans” to share your story with all of us.
If you have been around the Costa Blanca on holidays, tell us:
- what did you like the most doing
- what places did you visit
- or perhaps a fun story while you spend you vacation in Spain
For those of you who are living around here for a large part of the year, please share with our readers:
- where do you live and what you like (or even do not like so much) about it
- one or two great places to go and see if you could recommend any
- “the one” bar or restaurant in your area which you do like the most
- or anything else you would like to share.
I set up a special page here where you can submit your story and even send us a picture with it. So, please Click here and send us your “travel” or “living here” story about the Costa Blanca.
Questions from Readers Answered
This past week I started to answer some of your questions directly on the website. Like Fran from Glasgow asking about finding a good 5 – star Hotel in Alicante and Steve from Maidstone wondering about the new Murcia airport in Corvera or Ann’s question about getting from Alicante airport to Altea. Some of the shorter questions I got back to you via email, but answering directly by posting it on the site is something I do like a lot more, as everybody can benefit from it.
Some February Inspiration From San Juan de Alicante
Yes, and what about some kind of inspiration of all of you who might currently NOT have the best weather? – Well, I posted a couple of hopefully inspiring photos of the beach of El Campello on the blog here. Just a little “mouth-watering” for those of you who need a bit of a lets-dream-about-summer-in-Spain thing.
To all of you – Best Regards from a “semi-sunny”, well actually cloudy Sunday from San Juan de Alicante,
Hubert
