Where are you?

Where are you?

You are here.

In a land cradled by the palm of a gentle ocean. Its blue fingers stretch to a limitless horizon, melting and streaming upwards into the sky. You are encased in an azure jewel. The sky towers above at a height with no end, and the sea basks in its glow and reflects its color. They are one in the same, a blue giant with a warm smile and strong, chilly hands.

You are here.

You stand at the precipice of ruins, balancing between two eras of time. Below you, the city is a clean metropolis of modern architecture and winding streets. Above you, the fortress of a time that has long since passed.

You encounter two different scents. The fortress is the smell of damp, elderly stone, of a time that has laid to rest. Immovable and solid, the rock bears the mark of history. The second scent is that of the ocean, salty and fresh. The waves are reborn and renewed each day, forever shifting the sands and shaping the earth.

One unyielding and old, a testament to time. One constantly moving, a testament to a life that's always changing.

You stand between the past and the present. Where will you go?

You are here.

The streets are the pulse of youth, filled with lights, laughter, and action. At all times, history towers above them, but this is not a place of the past. History is remembered, but it is not lived. This is not a place of nostalgia, where the people look back to books that have been closed. 

Instead, this place is filled with movement. The people have their eyes set forward, to the horizon of unending possibilities. They live here, their feet in the present but their minds in the future. It is a time of progress and change, where the voices of laughter and happiness are equal to the voices demanding to step forward.

In these fearless streets you live, beneath a glowing sun and before an endless ocean. Beneath a fortress of time and before an unpredictable future. Step now, into the boulevards of liveliness. Step now, into soft sand. The city welcomes you.

Where are you?

You are here, in Alicante.

You are living now.
