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.

Fútbol 1

Sunday 31 August is the start of the Spanish Football League ( La Liga ) and no doubt everyone will be getting excited about the new season - new signings, new team strips, new hopes ( some soon to be dashed )

Valencia will play Mallorca, Numacia plays Barcelona and  Deportivo La Corona plays  Real Madrid. Let's hope it is a good season ..

Most teams have been preparing and playing friendly matches for some time now - Espanyol met Manchester United at Old Trafford in the 2nd August in the Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer testimonial match. United won by one goal scored by Fraizer Campbell 8 minutes from time.

Real Madrid have signed 25 year old Rafael van der Vaart from Hamburg - this is their only signing in the summer break.

Daniel Parejo the 19 year old winger at Real Madrid has gone to the London club QPR on a one year loan.
