Calle de Las Setas, Mushroom Street in Alicante, Spain

Strolling down Mushroom Street in Alicante, Spain, locals and tourists alike enjoy the summer weather. Women in skirts and summer clothes, people in jeans, and a bald man in shorts window shopping bring life to this charming street lined with residential buildings, balconies, and unique mushroom statues. Shops like Halal and Michele Croc are open, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

In 2013, part of Alicante's San Francisco Street was transformed into a whimsical, fantasy wonderland of yellow brick roads, toadstool houses, and towering mushrooms. The purpose of this initiative was to rejuvenate the street and help the businesses in the area during a state of economic decline. The mushroom statues are the work of artist Sergio Martinez, and cost the City of Alicante around €66,000.

Cop writing tickets

The other day, myself and my friend went shopping. When we came out, we saw a Policeman writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I told him this is unfair. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So my friend told him "officer, if this was your wife's car, would you dare write a ticket" ?

The police officer finished writing second ticket, put it on the windscreen along with the first.

Then he started writing a 3rd ticket. This went on for some time.

The more we protested, the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we boarded the bus and went home.

We weren't too concerned about the vehicle's owner because the bumper sticker on the car read :

"I support Donald Trump".
