So I know at home we like to relax on Sundays by sleeping in and reading the newspaper or watching a movie, but Spain truly has lazy Sundays. People don't do anything and the whole city of Alicante is shut down. However these Sunday has become my favorite day of the week by far. If you walk down to the beach all the roads and highways that run along the beach are closed until 2 pm so that people can walk, run or ride a bike. It is the perfect time for people watching. I took a few pictures of my first Sunday here and wrote the captions next to them.

This is called the Senior Gym. There are tons of different activities or exercises that older people are able to do for a workout while hanging out at the beach.
