As it turned out…

Perhaps the forecast was for rough seas, causing the postponement until September of the rowing regatta, but the reality was almost flat-calm seas.

Book releases for August 2014…

For those who like a good read, either on holiday or at home, here are a few of the books coming out in August in various formats.

A bit more subtle…

There was a group of workmen fiddling with the ornamental lighting on Calahonda beach during the day as well as appearing to hold a meeting on top of the big rock at the end of the beach.

Out and About July 30th 2014…

There were a couple of musicians on the Balcón de Europa last night. Well, three. A duo and a solo guitarist.

Out and About July 28th 2014…

The ‘tree house’ in calle Carabeo does look rather splendid. Half expected a Hobbit to come running out.

Sneaky’s best…

It is often the case, and it applies in many countries, that new/general/amended/temporary parking schemes seem to be applied with the motto ‘sneaky’s best’.

La Dorada…

Funny how you get used to things. It was only when I happened to see an old picture of La Dorada in Parque Verano Azul that I noticed something was different. The cabin has gone! They are, of course, planning a renovation of the boat due to its deteriorating condition.

Keep it clean…

Early morning and the Municipal Valet Car Wash team are out and about. Yet another good service for the tourists.

Balcón by night, July 20th 2014…

Plenty of artists and one lone classical guitarist on the Balcón de Europa on Sunday night, the guitarist having to compete with a baritone and a full choir on the stage.
