Busy in town…
Strange weather at the moment. Warm in the sun, cool to cold in the shade and freezing indoors. Lots of people wandering about today with several large guided tour groups in the centre of town.
Nice skies…
A much warmer day today, so much so that the cafe terraces on the Balcón de Europa were pretty full and there were quite a few people brave enough to don their shorts! Nice skies this evening, too.
Warmer times…
What a lovely change to a warm wind today after the bitterly cold nonsense of the past few days. The high winds at the weekend damaged the cypress trees next to the convent in Plaza de la Ermita. They were … Continue reading

The Smuggler’s Inn is up for sale if anyone is looking for a bar. And opposite Smuggler’s is a new taxi office, www.taxinerjagoodprice.es.
Santa, Yorkies and spuds…
I though I’d seen it all with a Yorkie attired in a hoodie, but how wrong can one be? Well, a multi-coloured knitted body suit, complete with leggings and a separate matching bobble hat is the answer. Amazing.
Lights in Plaza La Marina…
