Moros y cristianos - Guardamar

It is a near to impossible task trying to ascertain the dates of Guardamar's Moors and Christians celebrations.

However after a lot of searching the internet we have discovered it runs from July 20th to 29th this year.

The town will be very busy - it will be very hot but watching the parades and fireworks will make it well worthwhile.

Guardamar

Quiet now down by the park but in summer this area will be heaving ..

Flowers

On our return to Spain these will be long gone - lack of water ( unless heavy rain decides to visit throughout the winter )

Jigsaw

A visit to Spain is never complete without a jigsaw to pass away a few days.

.

Spanish unemployment ..

The number of people in Spain claiming unemployment benefit has risen to 4.42 million.

This is a fifteen year high and the fifth straight monthly rise.

The new government has a lot of work to do !!
