On Thursday afternoon I was cycling after work, and I stopped to photograph the sunset sky over the A70 motorway that bypasses Alicante, including in the picture a sign indicating the distance to Almer?a and the ferries to Morocco and Algeria that depart from there?in Spanish and in Arabic, since many of the drivers who use this motorway to get to the ferries to cross the Mediterranean are Moroccans and Algerians living in countries further north, such as France, Belgium or the Netherlands. Then on Sunday afternoon I was walking around the centre and happened upon this small demonstration on Plaza Monta?eta, one of Alicante?s central squares. The tone was decidedly celebratory, and I suspected that it had to do with the recent resignation of longtime president Bouteflika. And indeed, one of the Algerian bystanders confirmed that. I took a few pictures: https://www.greatpix.eu/Algerians-in-Alicante/ People were very friendly and someone else asked me if I needed more information?I politely told him that I had already spoken with one of his compatriots there.
