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.

Vantage Point

Wednesday is cinema day for us over 50's - cheap deals with free coffee and biscuits - yum yum !

Today it was Vantage Point with Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forrest Whitaker and Sigourney Weaver - a really good action film set in Salamanca, Spain - concerning a presidential assassination bid - eight different people give their own versions of the events - an excellent film which I would recommend .

BUT I've been to Salamanca and did not recognise any of the places filmed . Unusually for us we waited until the very end of the film and watched all the credit titles to find that it was filmed in Mexico City ! !

Why not set the story in Mexico and not Spain ?? It just gets us old folks confused ..
