First of all, I'm glad you had some time off to have a well deserved break, I've loved all the photos, the places, the food and arquitecture too, I have been in awe looking at the 'popcorn' beach photos and the turquoise waters, a total dream. Also, the way you packed very light (I took some notes) and all of your outfits for the trip, I love them, that top in the first two top photos is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your travel with us and I really look forward to your next and final post of this travel-log! I hope you have a beautiful day and amazing week! xxMelissa Cuentashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062635365953254765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-69468694870977300592024-03-18T20:09:33.651+00:002024-03-18T20:09:33.651+00:00Popcorn beach is fascinating!

The beaches are amazing, not a sunbed in sight and big enough not to be bothered by neighbours. <br />I'd love to go to Sicily (I blame lovely Montalbano!) The salt flats are so interesting, salts so commonplace you almost take how its harvested for granted. <br />What a shame about Rick's Edinburgh gig, all those groupies getting the tickets before you got a chance.

Yes, travel was a bit of a lottery back then, wasn't it? <br />I'm not a fan of rough seas and was so happy to find a sheltered harbour in Tenerife so I could swim on my birthday. No, hotel pools aren't usually very enticing. Tao did have a pool and I did think I'd have a swim in it but it somehow never happened. I need to book a Greek holiday and nothing beats the Med for a swim!<br />I love tapas, all those delicious bits and pieces with loads of flavour. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-52722577630497860992024-03-18T08:28:20.851+00:002024-03-18T08:28:20.851+00:00The statues are awesome, although I am not sure I ...The statues are awesome, although I am not sure I would like to live in such a dry and hot place.Poppy Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271337805172036471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-75404257273021355142024-03-17T23:52:10.638+00:002024-03-17T23:52:10.638+00:00I am in awe - not only of the time and energy you ...I am in awe - not only of the time and energy you put into this blog., but how you can travel with such a tiny piece of luggage and still look amazing<br />Siobhan xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-66911391527269545692024-03-17T18:56:07.442+00:002024-03-17T18:56:07.442+00:00So lovely museum and windmills, those fascinating ...So lovely museum and windmills, those fascinating cacti gardens and obviously, I'm always in favour of some cheese tasting!<br />Usually we don't pay much attention to churches in spain, they're just part of the quotidian landscape.
