The story of our adventure in Spain



In October 2002 we purchased a holiday flat in Guardamar on Spain's Costa Blanca - not far from Alicante and Torrevieja and we try to spend a good part of the year in Spain.

This blog hopefully will contain our thoughts and impressions of Spain - the good and the bad and lots and lots of photographs of not only Guardamar but the rest of Spain as we eventually get to explore it.

Real Madrid progress ..


More success in the Champions League - last night saw Real Madrid beat Roma 2-0 and progress to the next round.

With goals from C Ronaldo and J Rodriguez in the 64th and 68th minutes.

The aggregate score was 4-0 over two games

The next round is likely to be much harder when it is assumed that they will meet a far stronger team than Roma.
