A Birds Eye View of the Alicante Sunset
One of the things I was determined to witness when we were in Alicante recently was the sunset from the top of Santa Barbara Castle – which was right next to our hotel. I have to admit that the climb up to the castle, having previously taken the lift, was a very tiring one but it was worth just for this birds eye view! The photos I am sharing are all in order of the sun going down and I love how the colours change as it does – but I think my favourite image has to be the first image, where the seagull is joining me in enjoying the view!




If you are on Instagram, then I would love you to join my linky, InstaLinkLove. It is open until Sunday evening at 9.30pm (probably one of the easiest linkys out there!).


Very beautiful! Earth from the height of this exciting spectacle.
Oh those colours! Just beautiful and beautifully captured too. Thank you for sharing, makes me feel warm on a cold day 🙂 xox
Such beautiful colours #MySundayPhoto
Nice set of photos! Beautiful sunsets!
What an incredible view, and all the more stunning at sunset. Gorgeous x
The colours and contrast is amazing but the seagul really makes the difference #mysundayphoto

It is always worth a climb to see the view and if only we could just fly like the gull!#MySundayPhoto
Amazing pics and that was the first thing I notice. How that gull was just say enjoying the view too x
Wow, those are stunning photos! I see what you mean about the seagull though, he really makes that first photo!
All of your photos are stunning. I bet you were pleased you did make that climb when you looked through your viewfinder. Alicante looks a bit unreal from way up high. #MySundayPhoto
I agree with you on the first being the favourite, the seagull just adds a little extra interest, but they’re all lovely.
Beautiful photos Victoria 🙂 There is something special about sunsets.
Amazing views, you’ve made Alicante look so beautiful and appealing.
Thank you for linking up
I didn’t notice the seagull till you mentioned it but it really is a stunning view. I hope you’re doing well lovely. Thinking of you lots x
Absolutely stunning Victoria, my favourite is the first one too x
I have a sunset this week as well. I especially like the first and last photos.
Gotta love a good sunset picture. Great the way you’ve caught the sun dipping below the horizon. I keep meaing to try this myself. #MySundayphoto
Beautiful sunsets! Amazing colour! I love how you caught all those birds in the photos, but especially the guy in the first image.
I love how you have stayed there and captured each stage. I agree it is the first that does it for me too but they are all beautiful.
Beautiful. I love the warm glow the sun casts over the town below.
What a gorgeous view – well worth the climb to capture these photos. Love the stunning orange hues of the sunset – such stunning shots 🙂
Great sequence of shots, I love the way the town changes colour as well as the sky! #MySundayPhoto
Ah great minds think alike. I love Alicante and you have captured a perfect autumnal sunset x #mysundayphoto
