Actually I have been kind of busy in Spain recently, as we bought a house there (near Santiago de Compostela, a truly beautiful town / city). We were going to buy somewhere in a warmer winter clime but happened across this one place and fell in love with it. So now we have to decide whether to a) do it up and sell it on at a profit, b) sell our place in Portugal (both these options then more than give us the chance to do something somewhere else), or c) keep both (there are benefits to having a place either side of the border). So I have been out a bit! The detox month? Aaaaggghhh! Still on it yes, but G the temptation yesterday when I bought a lot of one of my favorite Cava's and Rioja Reserva's at really low sale prices at a hypermarket in Vigo (Spain) - great seafood restaurants . It is a bit cold right now for the Cava BUT oh man I could have murdered a glass or 6 of Rioja when I got back yesterday!


Thanks for your kind comments BTW, I wish I had more time to do more on my travel sites but.........
