Guardama del segura

Little known place 1/2 hour down the road from Alicante

Still got the place, we just keep a couple of weeks free otherwise we would never get into it as it gets let out most of the year

We toasted ourselves today and now i am trying to put the fire out with a few large cold ones

I,ll make you right on that one mate and thats before you get onto the Spanish measures.
Sitting here in the internet cafe with what might as well be a bowl of bailys

Also, while down the local Supermarket ( Masymas ) i stocked up on some essensials for the flat IE BEER.
A SIX pack of San migiel Bottles (330 ml ) cost 2.15 Euros

Weather today was shocking, so shoking it was all over the news, rivers flowing down the roads which broke our road up at one place and we had to have it closed of by the Police.

Alicante was hit worse and was under a metre of water. Aint heard anything on the uk tv but its big news over here as they dont get rain that often and everyone comes out to check it out with there Camera phones

Regards
Ian

Heard about it on a few expat forums, the weather use to be predictable in Span now it is all over the shop. year after year very random. Though you can't beat pics like this at Christmas.



On the beer front most UK tourists stick to the stuff they know, if they tasted some local Spannish beer they would realise how shit the UK brands really are.

Looking forward to getting to Santa Pola, seems so much cheaper than the costa del sol. Got a week in January to sort house out etc can't wait.

Been many places as bad as torri, torri aint so bad it's some of the urbanasations what look like ghettos surronding it. I'm use to all the eastern europeans and russian gangs blowing shops and mad shit from living on the costa del sol so will be nothing new to me or to worry about. Plus i'll always have my two bulldogs with me lol friendliest dogs ever yet people still cross the road from them.

You had many break ins at your gaff's area ?

LOL at the night clubs.......So funny when people think they are actually night clubs.
