December in Pictures

For the last time this year, here’s a quick round-up of this month’s goings on:

Spontaneous trip to a little city called Tarrazona one Saturday. Great way to spend a day crossing the border into Aragon and seeing all the sights, like the Cathedral and the Old Bull Ring as seen in this picture. Something to whet the appetite before the inevitable trip to Zaragoza!

Pretty exhausted after the trip to Tarazona, I accepted a walking excursion to Valonsadero, a nearby park. (I say 'nearby' but it took almost 2 hours to walk there). After a much needed coffee break when we arrived, we set off to explore the cave paintings and admired the beautiful natural landscapes before the long trek back home. What a weekend!

So on my travels to Murcia, we came across this pretty Government building with an old sign saying 'Agua Para Todos' (Water for everyone). Outside the building are several needless, functioning water fountains. Oh Spain! (Note: Palm trees and blue skies!)

Saw some sand by the sea in Alicante when we popped over for a visit. It was wonderful. On returning to England a family member has noticed a slightly darkened skin-tone i.e. a tan. YAAY!

Last blog-post of 2012 so to finish off, here’s an appropriate song for the festive season which accurately reflects the linguistic fusion that is my life at the moment.

Feliz Navidad, Próspero Año y Felicidad!
