Another holiday, this holiday we met up with quite a few friends. We went over to La marina and visited Margaret and Derek Beardsmore, we had a nice day, finished off with a wonderful meal at a local La Marina restaurant called Los Carmelos. It is a Bodega / Tapas bar and both the food and wine are great. (see pictures below)
After that we met up Bert and Yvonne who we knew from town twinning. Funnily enough they only live a few minutes from us in the UK and they own a property just a few minutes from us in Spain! We went up to Benidorm with them and had a good trip and nice look around in Benidorm. Julie was ecstatic as we went into the hotel were they were filming the TV sitcom "Benidorm" We saw quite a few of the actors and Julie went for a swim in the pool. We had lunch there and although the food isnt great there it was OK.
Towards the end of our holiday our friends Marion and Ivor came over to Spain, they were staying in our place for a month (lucky them). We were going to stay for one day with them just to show them around. this got extended by 3 days as our flight home was cancelled due to the French air-traffic controllers going on strike, and we had to re-book our flights. Still we got a few more days holiday out of it. Weather was great and enjoyed the holiday as always.
