Penelopes terrace was packed with people from all over, Dutch, German, English, Spanish and I sat in the middle of them reading my favourite newspaper. I’ve never forgotten that half-hour of bliss. I did the crossword in record time. It's given away! |

but we're expecting rain best thing in Spain? I don't know - probably being able to spend more time outside than in (usually & most of the year) worst thing in Spain - the banking system |
Re: Best and worst??
The worst moment in Spain? That’s easy – standing in the foyer of the giant Carrefour in Finistrat on Christmas Eve and inserting my credit card into a strange cash machine, one with the numbers upside down.
Having realised my mistake after the first attempt, I got a bit flustered and tried again, but must have made another mistake. With my confidence totally shattered, on the last and final attempt, I lost my memory, at least as far as my credit card pin number was concerned. I can still remember it now, but not then. I had only just arrived back in Spain, in an area that was strange to me where I didn’t know a soul, and I had ten mil Pesetas in my pocket until I got my new credit card from the UK well into the New Year. The only job I could find was as a bouncer outside the roughest club in Benidorm and I spent Christmas and the New Year rolling about in blood and spew. |
