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.

Guardamar - Beach Art

It's quite common to find these " creations " on the beaches of Spain - the " artists " have a collection dish for the few cents or euros that you may have spare.

This one is on the central beach in Guardamar - the theme changes after each heavy shower ! They can be easily washed away !

Themes vary - but are usually religious - fish - mythical creatures .. This one a huge sand castle.


Deep inside there is a wooden frame - do not be fooled - it is not all sand !

The day seems to be spent spraying a fine liquid over them to prevent the sand drying out and the creation becoming another mound of sand ..
