There’s always one…
While 99.9% of participants were wafting olive branches of every size from a couple of leaves to huge tree-like objects, one person either obviously felt left out or couldn’t distinguish between an olive and a bottlebrush, so there is one … Continue reading
Wouldn’t have known…
There were apparently the odd pickets spotted at hotels but on the whole one wouldn’t have known there was a general strike today without being told. banks were open, shops open, rubbish was collected last night, Council offices were open … Continue reading
Impromptu sing-along…
There was a very good flamenco guitarist on the Balcón de Europa on Monday and at one stage, a large crowd gathered and a Spanish tourist began singing along, much to everyone’s delight.
Snafu…
Low turnout in the elections and despite a victory for the PP it looks like more of the same with a PSOE-IU coalition. Doesn’t bode well for Nerja, or probably any other PP controlled municipalities for that matter, when it … Continue reading
Not slow to take advantage…
No cubes to possibly fall over now in Plaza Cavana, just have to watch out that no-one is backing into the pedestrian only square!

Man with fan…
There was a paraglider making his way slowly along the coastline, looked to be having great fun. Never tried it myself. here he is making his way past the Balcon de Europa and Calahonda beach.
Sunny Sunday…
