Jon, were you at the bootsale at the tennis club on Sunday? I wasn't completely sure if it was you so didn't know whether to say hello or not.
Do they sell english fiction books at the bootsale? If so, where abouts is it and how often is it held? Many thanks |

Hola!
Glad you brought this topic back for attention. Please bear with me, my post does eventually lead to Esuri.:) I agree that Merida is well worth a visit. The photos posted of the roman ruins reminded me of when we stayed there in a 3* hotel - it was walking distance from most sites. In the heat of the summer in Extremadura, we were glad to be able to dive in and out of cooler buildings. The hotel had a private, locked garage, too. (PM me anybody who might wish to know the name.) Merida is a good base to tour around Caceres, and Trujillo (the latter a bit further away - east towards Madrid). Badajoz, too. Enchanting. The drive south towards Sevilla, at that time was longer, because of the construction work on the "new" road (Ruta de la Plata). Traffic could come to a standstill at Santa Olalla (?), especially if a lorry shed it's load. On our way south, we turned right (like Bugs Bunny) at Zafra (a place I'd like to explore), and passed town names like Jerez de los Caballeros. (The conquistadores are prominent in this area.) We climbed into the Sierra de Aracena, saw lots of black pigs, and stopped for cool drinks in Jabugo. So, instead of taking the #435 state road from Jabugo to Valverde del Camino and onwards, we did an "Elmer Phudd" dive towards Cabezas Rubias and Puebla de Guzman. Thinking this would lead us to Esuri via Villablanca, etc... Oh no! Oh yes! It was a bit of a bone rattler. It seemed to take forever, as it does when all you just want is to get to your destination. Now, does anybody want to see my recent pictures of Moguer and El Rocio?:o Regards, Carol |

Regards, Carol I´d like to see them Carole. Living near El Rocio, the beauty of it never ceases to amaze me, and Moguer is one of those places nearby that we mean to pay a visit to, but never seem to do so. Is it worth a visit? Any good eateries around there? Thanks |
Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
If you want any books go and see tom at the andalucian bar he will lend you some free as long as you return them or if you have any you have read give them to him so others can red them

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
If you want to eat well and its a menue del dia you want just use the places where you see all the spanish trucks and you wont be paying tourist prices.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
hi thanks for the replies. as we live near el rocio, i would be looking for books i can buy/exchange as opposed to borrow.

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
Yes its a bit to far to go..get your mates to send some from uk.they must be a fraction of the price in a uk boot sale or second hand book shop.so that may well cover the post charge..good luck,hope you find what your looking for

Here are some photos of Moguer, taken on the same day this week as those of El Rocio. A pleasant day trip from Esuri. However, Monday was VERY quiet, so not many places open (also winter). Coffee:thumbup:
(Perhaps not in order) Square in front of the convent; staircase to apartments; one of many plaques commemorating Juan Ramon Jimenez, the Moguer-born poet/writer. I hope you enjoy these photos. Buenas Noches:zzz: |
Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE

Re: COSTA ESURI - AYAMONTE
