Avda. de las Gaviotas, S/N Roquetas de Mar, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands, 04740, 0034950333809
We didn't have any plans for Cartagena. None of the excursions that HAL had planned sounded exciting and when we researched things to do in Cartagena, nothing looked appealing. So I went in search of plentiful cheap wine to stock up for the long ocean crossing to come (I hate paying the exorbitant prices for alcohol in bars and restaurants)… <br><br>So I found a supermercado in Cartagena with excellent prices and a good selection of wine. I ended up buying 9 ...
Cartagena, Murcia, Spain and Canary Islands big_red_truck... water on his head to cool down Olly offered a kind gesture. <br><br>QUOTE OF THE DAY: "Would you like me to hose you down whilst you rub yourself" - Oliver Williams. (I would like to point out that he said this legitimately with no intention of irony.)<br><br>Highlight: We saw a shop which sold electronic products called Electrohouse<br>Lowlight: We slept on a beetle infested mound<br>
Águilas, Murcia, Spain chris_jones01Well, another day on the road. Sunday. Not a good day in Spain. They take there Jesus and stuff like that pretty serious over here. This probably explains the the 50 ft statue they built of him on top of a mountain. I mean, honestly, i dont want to say i could do things better, but, spend that money on finishing buildings or building roads that cyclists can use, or policing the beaches, anything but a 50 ft statue. Waste of money. <br><br>So, anyway, we arrived in ...
El Palmar, Murcia, Spain chris_jones01Last night we went to a spanish beach bar which was right on the beach no English people were there and non of the bar staff spoke English which i really like! I like to see a country from the locals no touristy areas.<br><br>Today we went to the Puerto de Mazzron in the day we got a bus down which was half hour late! We went to a restaurant which we had previously been ...
Puerto de Mazarron, Murcia, Spain and Canary Islands luke_1989... all the back roads which were terrible and really bad and bumpy. We arrived on the port and went to a pub which was run by an English women, stayed there for one drink and then went for a walk there was a spanish punch and judy show (In spanish) we stood and watch that for ten minutes! It was strange because it was 11:15pm and there was spanish kids everywhere still up and it was packed ...

I wasnt that good at spanish to ask what they were so i just went a pointed saying una! She said Ingles and i said yes she gave me one portain( six sticks) and i put sugar on them as i saw other people doing<br><br>They were very nice it was like donut dough in a long stick which was fried, I later found out by my nan that they were called Churrioes.<br><br>Then we went back layed by the pool that night we had dinner at me nans.

Bolnuevo, Region of Murcia, Spain luke_1989One may think that with the trouble we had in getting here, we weren't meant to be here. There was a fire on another train aheadd of us, and we were delayed by 2 hours. Then our train was having problems and we had to transfer to another train. All in all we arrived in Murcia at 12:45am, 4 hours late, but very excited to see Javier, Carmen and still waiting to see the girls who got up and went to school while we still slept.
Murcia, Region of Murcia, Spain jasieniukrtw... about this and having been impressed with their travel money service I gave them a call. The info they provided was great and they broke it all down for me and explained how each process worked. <br><br>I'm happy to announce that we are now looking at a house in Brittany, France and feel completely secure entrusting our savings with No1 Currency.<br><br>I'd definitely recommend them to anyone looking for any type of currency transfer.<br><br>David.
Murcia, Region of Murcia, Spain ddeane... plaats en alles is er te koop op fiets afstand. Terug op de boot, beslissen we de mast in te gaan om de windmeter uit de top te halen. Hoogtevrees is iets wat maar niet uit te bannen is en het levert wederom weer heel wat stress op als ik via mijn eigengemaakte ladder in combinatie met het bootsmansstoeltje 12 meter boven een wiebelende boot de windmeter losdraai. Dankzij Lineke, die op het juiste moment de juiste touwen verankert en de juiste losmaakt ...
