These are very difficult times we're living in.
Many people are losing their jobs and many people are finding it very difficult to make ends meet.
However, one of the best things you can do to make things seem not as bad as they are is to take a trip to the sun.
If you are living in the Sun then maybe this advice doesn't count for you.
But I'm talking from the perspective of somebody who is living in northern Europe where the winters can be quite cold and miserable.
A trip abroad, maybe to Alicante, can be one of the best ways to try and beat those blues and pick yourself up.
Much of the time, when you travel abroad you are going to find that things are going to be a lot cheaper.
For instance, if you travel to Alicante you will find that not only are you going to be able to get the airfares for a lot cheaper, you will also find several different types of accommodation at reasonable prices, restaurants and eating out to be much cheaper, and transportation in general will not set you back lots of money.
Also, when you travel to Alicante you will find that the people are very nice.
This is one of the ways that you can lift your spirits.
The Spanish have a wonderful way of being relaxed and comfortable in themselves.
A walk through any Spanish city or town will immerse you in this laid-back way of thinking.
It is very easy to stop at a cafe or a bar, have a cappuccino or small beer, relax and enjoy watching the world go by under the wonderfully warm Spanish sun.
