Madrid
Well we have just returned from another extended trip to Spain and can report that the seaside resorts of the Costa Blanca are still very quiet - not much economic activity during the current CRISIS ..
This time we enjoyed our first internal Spanish flight from Alicante to Madrid using Ryan Air and a very comfortable trip it was - just under one hour journey time.
Madrid centre is still busy with lots of people thronging the shopping centres and theatres late until the night though there are a lot of people living rough on the streets and sleeping in the metro stations ( perhaps this was a common sight even before the current economic crisis I do not know ! )
If you ever have a few days to spare while in Spain I would recommend a visit to Madrid - so much to see and do ..

Torrevieja - Jetty
This bronze lady is waving good-bye to the fishing boats as they leave the harbour at Torrevieja.
She can be found on the wooden jetty that now dominates the harbour. A popular place with walkers and joggers.
