We set off yesterday with a will to visit the small town that we first saw two years ago on our first holiday here. We had quite a bad start as I was stopped by the police for speeding - 2 mph over the limit! It cost me an on the spot fine of 150 euros (£120). Even though I was warned about the anonymous parked car I missed it as it was hidden from oncoming traffic. We had to drive back to get some more cash for our visit!
However, we arrived in the town and tried to drive up to a church we had seen two years ago when it was closed. However, after driving in circles we could not get there this time. so we settled for another church called (I think) Santa Maria del Carmen. Above is a photo of the pulpit and it shows how lavish to decoration of Spanish churches is. It was beautiful throughout but you can't help thinking of the expense and how the money was raised 300 years ago.
We then drove back through town until we found the huge archway that welcomes the traveller. Right next to this is the municipal underground car park we discovered two years back. Having parked up I opened the boot and got out the Red Cross wheelchair to push Pauline up the main street to where we knew we could get something to eat. When we came out of the lift at ground level we discovered right there an eating place. So we sat down and had two very enjoyable chicken sandwiches washed down with beer. After this we drove back to Finca Manolo and made use of the pool! "That's the way to do it!"
