Traveling in Alicante & Villena (Spain)

For those who have not been to Spain before, I have to inform them that it is a beautiful country with friendly people and nice food. The only problem that they may find is that most of the Spanish population does not speak English at all and unless you are well prepared then you may face difficulties with the communication or the navigation in the city. Fortunately, the city of Alicante is a holiday resort for many British and that is why exists a basic knowledge of the English language among the locals. On the other hand, in the city Villena almost no one speaks English! On personal level, my basic knowldedge of the Italian language helped me to communicate with the locals since Spanish and Italian have common words and sometimes the grammar.
