Yesterday was truly a day of rest. In the morning I drove over to Colmenar to buy some bits of food and top up on barbecue fuel. In 40 minutes I was back and helped Pauline laze by the pool. The best part of the property we have here is the pool. It is 10 metres by 5 metres and good for swimming lengths. It's ideal for Pauline as it has steps for access rather than a ladder which she would not be able to use. One unusual feature is that you cannot describe the shallow end as shallow. There is a very small difference between deep and shallow ends. At the so called deep end there is a wall sculpture of Neptune that looks like he is smoking a cigar! Actually this is a pipe to take water if linked up to the supply.
Trevor, joint owner of the property, keeps the pool equipment under lock and key. When he comes to do a pool clean he attaches a vacuum device which then drags along the bottom of the pool. It takes literally minutes to complete the job. He's a friendly guy and we always have an enjoyable chat when he comes.
When we go on holiday we always take our Kindles topped up with books we want to read. This is how we pass the time between swims! As we have Wifi this year we have been able to download during our stay - very useful.
Last night I barbecued chicken wings and sausages and did a rice salad. It was washed down with Faustino V white Rioja. This is a lovely wine and soon we are off to the hypermarket to get a supply for home. This is our final day after which we shall be travelling back to Northern Spain to catch the ferry to the UK on Monday afternoon at Santander. On Saturday we shall be spending a whole day in Toledo, our favourite city in Spain.
