There is something about the Mediterranean attitude, the latin mood, the relax, la vida loca, the laidback-ness.

Also the always and ever present abrasos (hugs), the kissing of the friends, the warmth amongst its people.

And there are colours, kids everywhere. Terraces are full with people having a tapa, chatting in the evening breeze, a stroll in the park with the family, and the friends, the neighbours, tremendous.

But you have to make an effort and go out, meet the spanish, meet the spanish life-style.

Don't go to the 'Dick Turpin's '-bar, don't go to the quiz, don't go karaoke, have something else than beans on toast.
Look, check out, what Spain has to offer, and you will not be dissapointed. It's fantastic.

Of course the sun has lots to do with it. It makes life so easy, so warm.

Life starts at 5 pm, a la cinco de la tarde, that's also when the bullfights start and this since ages.

That's when we are out to play. Spread our wings and have fun over the mountains. From 5 pm, temperatures are more mellow, thermals are more inviting.

On the photo the fun we had today. And all this fun, after enjoying the Med, the beach, the food, the siesta.... . It's fantastic.
