The town hall Square in Guardamar was the venue today for a classic car and Harley Davison display. The weather cleared after a damp morning and there was a fine display of vehicles to look at. Later in the afternoon Spongebob and Dora the Explorer were due to make an appearance. Beer and montaditos were being served for 1 euro and all the proceeds were for Caritas.
CYCLISTS ALONG THE RIO SEGURA
THE ANIMAL AID AND RESCUE VEHICLE
Yesterday lunchtime saw the Supervalue supermarket paella party near the Campo de Golf in Quesada, It was a a very tasty paella complete with snails (not to some peoples taste) beer and soft drinks provided. In the evening San Fulgencio town hall threw a party at Calle Del Bosque recreation area, to launch their provision of the animal aid and protection vehicle for the area this is a converted ambulance which will be manned by volunteers to rescue distressed and stray animals,(volunteers required) there was a buffet supper and beer, wine and soft drinks flowed, at the same time young trees were planted by children.
Today was The day of the Bicycle for Rojales, around 160 cyclists of all ages took an escorted bike ride along the Rio Segura to Guardamar and back through Quesada, at the finish in Rojales there were refreshments and prizes to lucky ticket holders. Although it was very hot, the ride of around 15 kilometres was taken at a very leisurely pace, so there were no casualties.
Monday was the day of the Sardine fiesta in Formentera del Segura, Many people from the area gathered to eat tons of freshly cooked sardines roasted on the barbeques in the new recreation area,they were enjoyed with fresh bread, beer and wine, there was a constant queue untill the middle of the afternoon.
Its a hot night, so when Bec and Damien finish work there is nothing better than a large cold beer, and to socialise, and have a chat before lights out.
The bar next to the swimming pool at the end of the road is open again for the summer, they open at 10:00 in the morning and stay open till about 3:00 the following morning. The drinks are cheap and the beer is cold in ice frosted glasses. It not just a bar but a real social point, its great to see all the nationalities getting together in this open air venue in the square, dominoes, backgammon, cards and Spanish ludo are all available if you fancy a game, sometimes people play petange, which we fancy having a go at, we´ve got the balls.
