Short Trips.
These articles are all about the short trips or day trips I have taken, the places I went to and the things I have seen on my travels. Some trips were taken while I lived in countries such as Spain or the USA, and others in the UK. Some were to see a city or place, and others were to attend sports or music events.
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.

My friends Bernice and Angelia said they were going river rafting on the Segura River and asked me if I wanted to go. I had been with my friend Mick before and decided to go again as it is great fun. We were joined by other friends, some from Los Alcazares and some from the UK. We all had a great day out.

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 Disney World while I was there.

My ancestors in Wales were 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.

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 consisted of ten Flamenco shows on temporary stages around the city.

While living in Spain, my mum used to visit and frequently stay with me for a few months. On one such occasion between Christmas 2005 and New Year 2006, I had an electrical problem. I contacted an electrician about rewiring the whole house, and he said he could do it immediately but that it would take a couple of days. Not having any electricity, we decided to go to Gibraltar for a few days.

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. Initially, six of us should have been going, but this soon became 3, with his friends dropping out because of pressure from wives and girlfriends.
