To my UK friends and family it might seem to be no big deal, since you can get there in a matter of hours, but it was a much longer trip for us - still worthwhile, though! The weather was absolutely perfect; couldn't have asked for better. No rain in the two weeks, and temps just moderately warm.
To be honest, it didn't seem much like Spain; lots of tourists, with massive cruise ships coming in every day, so we were hard put to find anyone speaking Spanish.

Restaurants catering to us tourists, so not many 'typically Spanish' meals, either. But we can't complain. We were right on the Mediterranean Sea, and the views from our hotel room were stupendous!

Well, so much for that endeavour. Video doesn't work and I can't get back in to remove it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous, although it is only an hour or so away, I have never been there. There is a lot of choice in Europe for visits to interesting places and that one has never reached the top of the deck. The panorama thing kind of worked, but did not scroll, you could see the whole view in stages.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks lovely. You have to really seek out non-touristy places these days.
