Spain

I was up early today to go to Torre Pacheco to catch a train to Madrid for an overnight stay.

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 travelled from Los Alcazares to Alicante for an overnight stay.

I went to Valencia by train from Balsicas the day before my cruise departed.

We checked out of our hotel in Madrid today to take the Spanish version of the bullet train to Barcelona. It was quite comfortable and a lot better than the Chinese one I went on just a few months ago.

I arrived back in Madrid, Spain today & then made my way back to Los Alcazares.

Today, I made the final part of my journey from Madrid to Los Alcazares.

My flight from Vancouver arrived back in Madrid today. 

Today, we arrived in Malaga, Spain. It was a place I had never been to and was not what I expected.

We got up early today for a coach tour to Montserrat via The Church of Colònia Güell on the way. We had no breakfast as our hotel doesn't serve breakfast before 7:30 am.

In 2014, I took a two-city break in Spain, staying in Madrid for a few days before travelling to Barcelona for a few days. My mum had been ill for a while, and I was taking a week's respite from being her carer.

Not being very clever myself, I have managed to join a few very clever ladies and do a weekly quiz. They don't mind me sitting with them and throwing in the odd correct answer to make it look like I know something. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that four of the ladies with whom I

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. 

I had spoken to my friends & family that live in Los Alcázares about the Tapas routes that they have been on, but I had never been on one.

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

Segway tour of Madrid.

I had seen that Simply Red was performing at the Bullring in Murcia & being a big fan when I was younger, I got myself a ticket to go & see them. 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
