Calpe, Peñon d'Ifach
Bandera España - Spanish Flag
Bandera Española the flowers are called, now blooming everywhere.
We flew earlier at La Cortina, later flying Toix near Calpe.
An amazing site, right over the Med, needing southwest. It was only till late that conditions were good, before we had to sit it out. It was hot today, probably 30 degrees and loving it.

Cabo flying and later Carrasqueta on my birthday, cheers you all !
Nervures gliders - french
Then flew their Kailash Bivouac, a bit more performance there. Fiddle about with speedbar, its trims etc... , got to get connected to this glider before you make it perform I guess. It felt like driving a car with too many options at first.
Nervures, years of experience that brand, hardly known in Spain. Dealers are my colleagues from Entrenuvols up in the Pyrenees. If you need their contact, or if you want to fly these gliders demo with us give us a call.

bullfights in Spain
Last friday bullfighter Julio Aparicio got horned by the bull. The horns gorged the neck and came out through the cheek of the bullfighter. The bull won. 1 - 0 you would think. But they couldn't have it, a bull with a grin on its face.
The winning bull got killed afterwards. Bastards.
When the bullfighter wins the game, he gets walked around the stadium, with the ears of the bull as a trofee, when he did very well with the tail. Imagine the bull walking around with little little balls around his muscled neck. Wouldn't be a sight, so they killed it. Bastards.
I am not 100 % against bullfighting though, but at least the bull deserved a 10.000 acre pasture, with lots of blond cows.

hunky dory
The name of the man on the foto is Japanese Tommy. He was a variety perfomer in the USA long time ago. This Japanese dwarf introduced the Japanese word “honcho-dori”. Meaning mainstreet, easy street, present in any port city to fulfil the needs of sailors in the port after al long trip. Hunky-dory Bowie !

In the air and on the ground. As promised weather is great to fly down here. Thermals as much as you want, and never ending.
