AC Almeria

... it might help. Let's just say, nothing made it taste worse than how it started. 13 euro later I was still starving. (I could only force down 1/4 of the pasta.) I stopped in a market but couldn't find anything microwaveable. And being in a hotel rather than a hostel my cooking devices open to me are limited. I finally stumbled upon a pizza place. Thank goodness, you can't screw up pizza, right?<br><br>I order a 'birra' which I later recognized was idiotic since that's ...

I am on my way to Cabo de Gata from Granada. I, as usual, didn't do diligent enough research and so ended up in Almeria with a 4 hour layover. Normally I would be ecstatic about this as that is plenty of time to drop my bags at the station, roam around on a city bus and get a feel for one more Spanish city. However. Almeria doesn't believe in baggage drops at the station. In an "I am Josie. I am American." moment, I walked to a hotel to leave my bags there. No. Neither being ...

... with plastic td greenhouses that grow fruits and vegetables. You can not find a single area that doesn't have a plastic greenhouse. The mountains are very dry and rocky. We stopped in a town called Almerimar for lunch - a fishing village and big windsurfing and water sport area. The town has a marina and yacht club. There were tons of boats in the marina, but the town was pretty well shutdown for the winter. Only a handful of cafes were open. It was pretty quiet. We ...

... the day from Olly: "We came down here to see what it would be like to sleep here Chris. We the discovered its the kind of place that goats get brutally masacred. Therefore, Its not a good place to sleep, is it." Despite Ollys compelling arguement the thing that changed my mind was the sketchy guy the kept cycling near us. When he returned with more friends to look at us I thought F**k this, lets do some night riding. The decision was further reinforced when we left because we ...

Returned to San Jose. Next day drove around to the town of Cabo de Gata, saw the salt-pans, went up the the "Cape", saw the incredible beach of Cabo de Gata, had great lunch there, then went around to the beach at Monsul. Eventually decided I HAD to leave!! 

... me &euro;2.50 to park, I then paid an exorbitant &euro;19 entry, and since it was getting on went and had an OK self-service meal - also over-priced. There wasn't much to see; a museum of old cinema projectors, old buildings, and a zoo. The latter was rather curious. I stayed around for the "shoot-em-up" show. About all that was worth it in an overpriced trip. As for the countryside, I was underwhelmed as it was nothing like as spectacular as the Copper Canyon in Mexico.

Tortosa-Almeria Toget gikk som de gjør i Spania, ti minutt for seint. Jeg skreiv i boka mi og Petter sov. Turen gikk fort, snakket med de tyske lofferene, alt i alt gikk det fort. Da vi kom til Valencia, hadde vi en time til toget gikk. like ved stasjonen,var tyrefekter arenaen. Peter og jeg ville gå, det var show den kvelden med ledige billetter, men kjedelige Anna klatre å legge veto på det også. Skjedde lite, jeg ble tilbudt heroin, da spillte jeg tulling og latet som jeg ...

... bij een vriend om de tijd tot hun terugvlucht op donderdag te overbruggen. De dikke Nederlander (hij kwam uit Vught) zal ik wel nooit meer zien. (Hij bleek overigens ook nog als projectontwikkelaar een bouwproject in Blaricum Bijvanck te hebben gedaan maar runt nu een kwekerij.) Ook zijn terugvlucht was pas op donderdag. Die was in verband met het transport van de hond niet gemakkelijk om te boeken. Of hij op korte termijn nog een keer naar Spanje zal gaan, betwijfel ik. Fons

... de français et d'arabe. Tout le monde s'installe. On va faire les papiers pour la douane pour la voiture. Papa et moi avons laissé des papiers dans la voiture. Tant pis ! On va manger à la cafet et tout le monde mange pareil... « Monsieur M___ Jean-Baptiste est prié de se rendre au bureau d'information ». Il y va. Il faut les papiers et il les trouve pas ! On monte pour les trouver et un jeune qui a le même problème râle, ils refusent ...
