A whole day of flying at Cabo. One day a week, it has to be done. And although winds were a bit cross to be good, we all managed to get hours and hours in. As you wish.
Tandem passengers pleased, visiting pilots from Madrid, England, Switserland, Germany, Sweden and Norway.
It is flying over the Med as you know, it is the feeling of being on vacation and nothing has to be done.

The only thing that has to be done is go to Elche tonight. The city of palmtrees in Spain, hence Europe. Tonight is Nit de Alba, of night of Alba, but better - Tonight's the Nite !
Fiesta on the streets, thousands and thousands of people. Fireworks, the best, you relaxed in the palmtree park, looking up through the palmtree leaves seeing the colourfull fireworks. Amazing, and this till midnight when all lights go out in the city. then Greogirian music takes over for a while. All gets quiet after the tremendous noise we all had before.
Soon after, time for 'sangria' and 'watermelon'. Bitfunny, but so traditional in Elche on Nit de Alba.
This fiesta has nothing to do with bull-runs like up norht in Pamplona. No no bull torturing, the fiestas in Elche are not even accompanied by bullfights. And although I looooooooooove this country, I am pleased, because I am not at all a bullfight-lover.
Anyway, don't call early tomorrow, 'cause we're gonna be late ! Kiss.
