Parque Natural Marjal, Pego-Oliva

This view. I mean, seriously. Over time I'll show you the rest of it. Our view is 320 degrees of wow. The remaining 40 degrees are hedge. I guess you can't have it all. :P

Ruzafa, Valencia

Image
The quirky neighbourhood or Ruzafa in Valencia is full of these grand old balconied and facaded buildings, often right alongside run-down blocks of 60's flats. At street level you'll find shoemakers next door to boutique stores, 100 year old fruit shops next door to tattoo shops, cafe tables with gatherings of old men smoking cigars and drinking beer for breakfast, while next door bunned hipsters sip on creamy cappuccinos and Instagram their poached eggs on avo toast.

Olli the Cat

Have you seen our cat, Olli? It was her birthday yesterday and she turned the nice middle-aged number of 9. We've had her since she was 8 months old.

We met up with friends and family there, so it was a busy weekend socialising rather than seeing the sites, so not much to show picture-wise, but we did manage to sneak off to a flamenco show one night. Wow! Such passion and intensity! It was the highlight of my trip. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to video, and the lighting was very low so the photos are terrible. But... I have my memories!
