Brave souls…

Warm in the sun today, but a bit nippy in the shade. However, fair play to the few hardy souls who braved the sea, although taking a long time to actually take the plunge!

Looking rather like it could be soggy chestnuts and squidgy potatoes at the Fiesta de la Castaña y el Boniato this evening!
