Short Trips

At the start of the year in 2018, whilst taking part in a local quiz at La Zona mini-golf some of my friends asked me if I would like to go & see the Aguilas Carnival in February.

Last week my friend Diane was telling me about a trip she planned on going on, to see the Algar Waterfalls. By the time we parted company, she had convinced me it would be a good day out and booked an extra place for me.

In 2004 my friend Martin was 40 years old and for his birthday he decided he wanted to go to Amsterdam for a long weekend. Originally, six of us should have been going, but this soon became 3, with his friends dropping out because of pressure from wives and girlfriends.

I like Bob Dylan's music & when I saw he was appearing in Alicante I decided to get a ticket & go to see him in concert. I may not ever get the chance again to see this poet, musician & songwriter.

I saw this trip advertised on Facebook, and as I have decided to try doing many more day trips I booked this one up. It included the coach trip, breakfast, a tour of the Bodega, a four-course meal with wine, and then a visit to the village of Alcala del Jucar.

Today, I ventured into the desert for a camel ride, quad bike ride and meal with a show. Today was the highlight of my trip. I had a fantastic time.

I saw pictures of the Cordoba Patio Festival and decided to go and see it in 2022. I like Cordoba, having been there before for the Flamenco Festival 2016.

At the start of 2017, I stayed at my apartment in Davenport, Florida, USA. I had rented it out previously and had to clear it up after the people renting it had left and made a mess of it, making it difficult to sell. I decided to visit

My friend Derek had very kindly got his wife a tour of the Emirates Stadium for her to go & see the hallowed turf. He had even managed to get the legendary Charlie George to be the tour guide.

Today, we explored Marrakech, visiting places in and around the medina, but we started the day at the Jardin Majorelle and Yves Saint Laurent Memoriam.

When I got my health and travel insurance sorted out after moving to Spain, I decided to go away for a short break. After scouring the internet for somewhere to go for a couple of days, I found a 3-day 2-night break to see the 'White Night of Flamenco', which is in Cordoba and

Whilst living in Spain my mum used to come & frequently stay with me for a while. On one such occasion between Christmas 2005 & New Year 2006, I had an electric problem. I contacted an electrician about rewiring the whole house & he said he could do it immediately but that it would

Today, we went on a hot air balloon flight over the desert before exploring Marrakech on foot.

My ancestors in Wales had been miners and I have always been interested in what they had to go through as miners. The conditions they had worked in, in Wales, would have been different, but I would get an idea of what they went through after visiting a local mine in La Union, Murcia.

Today, I flew to Marrakech for my short stay in the Moroccan city.

I had seen adverts for the Murcia Spring Festival for a few years & this year I decided to go along & see it.

Today, we left Marrakech, Morocco, to return home to Los Alcazares, Spain.

I had seen an advert saying that Rod Stewart was performing at the Bullring in Murcia & I got myself a ticket to go & see him. I decided to go to Murcia earlier in the day, have a look around, see the show, stay overnight in Murcia & go home the next day. 

In 2003 I went to Rome with my friend Paul Dunne for a long weekend trip. I had never been to Italy before and was looking forward to spending time in Italy's capital city, Rome. 

My friends Bernice & Angelia said they were going river rafting on the Segura river & asked me if I wanted to go. I had been before with my friend Mick & decided to go again as it is great fun. We were joined by other friends from Los Alcázares & the
