1^st – 3^rd May 2013

Well at last ‘Spanish’ weather returned on Wednesday. It was warm enough to use the site pool and walk about in just T shirts. Both Wednesday and Friday are public holidays so a lot of Spanish seem to have taken the Thursday off as well to give them an extended holiday. Consequently the bars and restaurants were busy and on Wednesday  everyone flocked to see the Barcelona v Bayern match. Thursday was  hot with the beach being quite popular. Temperatures are set to rise further reaching 27 on Tuesday. On Wednesday we actually found the 16 mile cycle path to Denia that takes you around the large mountain separating the two towns, the countryside surrounding the path was picturesque although quite muddy in parts. We covered a distance of about 18 miles but decided not to go to Denia as we’d already visited it and weren’t particularly impressed. This morning we woke to world war 3! As its festival time the fireworks started at 7:30 and went through till 9:10. I say fireworks but they were just constant loud bangs that as far as I could see were only designed to wake up and annoy the thousands of dogs in the area. I just don’t understand why the Spanish set expensive fireworks off so early in the morning.
