El Tesoro del Fenicio Almunecar

... the train was ready to begin its journey, the small TV turned on and a safety film was shown, after all, we were going to be traveling at almost 200 miles per hour! Our train traveled most of the time at speeds of 300 km per hour (or just about 190 miles per hour). Spain has some beautiful countryside! There are mountains, ocean views, vineyards, small villages, and deserts. We traveled through all of these areas. Aside from ...

... est en train de s'habituer à entendre cette langue, je comprends de plus en plus, mais j'ai encore de la peine à m'exprimer. 
Envie de profiter de chaque seconde...
les nuits se rafraîchissent et un matin je découvre du givre sur mon chemin des toilettes... ggrrrr... le pipi du matin devient la première expédition de la journée!!
Je passe mes matinées à travailler dans la ferme, beaucoup de désherbage, y a un côté méditatif ...

After all the driving yesterday, we decided we didn't want to get in the car and drive anywhere today. So we spent the whole day at the beach. Shae played with several new friends from the uk. She was digging in the sand for about 4 hours. I don't even think she made it to the water. It was a very relaxing day. Later we drove into a nearby ...

We decided to make today another Shae day. We headed to the beach early and rented a couple of chairs with an umbrella. You know how hard this is for mike and i. we are not beach-goers. but Shae was so excited to build sand castles and play in the water. We lasted close to 2 hours. it was nice. Mike got to catch up on his spanish cards and i finally got to start reading a book on my kindle. We ate lunch at an outdoor cafe and met the owner, Michel from ...

... Sounds funny eating Thai food in Spain. But, it was one of the best meals.. The couple is from Holland and use only fresh ingredients. It was by far the most flavorable food we've had. For the most part the Spanish food consists of overcooked, heavy meat (lamb, pork), boiled potatoes, and soggy vegetables, The pan is dry and mostly served cold. So, this was a treat. Food with flavor. I think our search for good food is paying off...2 nights in a row.

After getting in late the night before we got a pretty late start the next morning The place where we're staying is a 5 minute walk to Burriana Beach. A very popular beach in this area. The weather has been incredible our entire trip 70s and 80s the whole time. Apparently, this is unusual for this time of year here. It's tends to be a bit cooler. But the beaches are full of sunbathers even in mid-October. We really picked a good time to ...

... one-way or Do Not Enter signs when in town – all was OK.

We headed for the beach. I decided against trying to search for the caves which later I discovered were a few kilometers back the other direction, out of town. I wasn’t that inspired. Down to the beach, past the topless ladies (20%) of ALL ages including that middle-aged 5x5 who was as round as she was tall ...

... too.. On Friday and Saturday night it was crowded... I really enjoyed hanging out with my Dutch clan of freaks and amazingly I met a lot of people I met before during my trip in Portugal and Spain. Wow what a nice opportunity to ¨end¨ my trip here... My impression of this festival is that it is a huge playground for free people... You can do whatever you want and almost everyone who comes here brings something to create a nice ...

... first it was a little ackward just me and my hermana but after a while we were able to keep the conversation going. The playa was GORGEOUS! And HOT! I layered on the sunscreen but of course missed one spot right in the middle of my back. The water had no waves at all-my host sister told me ya there are waves here sometimes but somehow I think her definition of waves is a bit different than this Oregonian's. I swam in the ocean a lot ...

... the hostel, which is really a closet in the wall, I was shocked at what I found. This hostel was so cute and Spanish, with 6 floors, an elevator, a full-loaded kitchen, REALLY NICE staff with smiles, a big breakfast, free coffee and tea all day, and outlets with free wifi EVERYWHERE. This doesn't even cover the half of it-I still had the rooms to discover! There are three on every floor. Why three? Well, the hostel was small, cozy and personable, but the rooms were GIGANTIC ...
