Michael's Holiday Apartment in Spain

02/04/2023

and finally... the 'deed' is done (as they say)... so it only remains to say ..."thanks again, good health and bye-bye".... with a picture of my amazing Mum sitting on that same bench... and of myself too 🙂 The central pic and the two on the right were taken the last time we travelled to Torrevieja, (coming back just as the pandemic was starting), and on the left a few years ago, and in 2010 of my Mum and Dad -who spoke 12 languages, (about 6 fluently) and loved it there as he had great fun discussing translations with the waiters, who tended to know 2-3, and were always most keen to improve, (his main resource was Asterix magazines, fairly common Europe, having them in about 10 languages). Our time of having Spanish adventures goes back just over 35 yrs, since we first had a "bungalow" a mile or two inland, culminating in this seafront Apartment, in a lovely old traditional Spanish building since 2008. My Mum fell in love with Spain on a cruise in the 1950's, and I did during a holiday job in Majorca about 40 yrs ago. 'Hasta la vista" to Spain, with so many stories and memories...

less than 100 metres behind the Apartment building this lovely church and plaza :)

Tenemos por delante una noche de cielo despejado y de ambiente fresco, no tanto por la temperatura, sino por el viento que se deja notar a esta hora. Se espera que la temperatura durante la madrugada baje hasta los 18ºC.

Con esta fotografía desde la plaza de Oriente con la Luna creciente y el planeta Júpiter en el cielo, captada por Joaquín Carrión, os deseamos una feliz noche. ¡Hasta mañana!

Here’s a fabulous walk (or jog, or cycle ride) out to sea, the apartment building is the tall one, just about 60 meters from the start of this Dique de Levante

The Levante Dam is the most frequented places, also called "The cholesterol route", as it is recommended by doctors as very healthy daily exercise.
