with the blue sea as background
Hints and Tips
Take a walk near the appartment along the montains as Orangeraies are in bloom watching ***the blue sea as background***. Feels like a dream. Walk to the Altea's old village special for its ring and its blue tiles, unique. Check out those fish boats coming out everyday at 6:00pm. Feel free to request other pictures from the appartment by mail.

I took this image with a custom white balance to capture as much natural color as I can see with my own eyes. The sea fan was all white, giving a soothing combination ***with the blue sea as background***. Sea was pretty calm and clear.
