Summer Vacation - part 1 - Mazarron

The first week of my holiday I spent in Mazarron (Murcia, Spain) with Kate. Her sister has an apartment out there and offered to let us stay. We flew in style, Ryanair, and it went as smooth as silk. The apartment is lovely which is good as Kate's sister, brother-in-law and nephew are about to move out there permenantly. The weather started out hot and simply got hotter. It was great. Enjoyed my siesta's and really enjoyed our late nights! We ate really well with lots of sea food at the local restaurants, usually on the paseo (promanade to those of us from Yarkshire!). Mussels, clams and chopitas (tiny whole fried squid) all went down very well with the aid of a canya (small beer) or three and the lovely local and cheap wines. Speaking of cheap wine we were buying awesome local wine form the supermarket for a Euro a bottle (78 p) and even in the bars and restaurants the average was about 5 Euro's - my kind of town. The beach, town and whole locality was all stunning :-)
