Doggie park!
 
Hi all,
Just thought I would share this with you, as I was quite shocked. When I was last in Los Pacos (to the rear of los Boliches near Fuengirola), I noticed a fenced area with slides, see saws, hoops and a slalom and I thought "what an odd little new park".

Later it turned out to be a "park for Dogs" fenced off with a water supply, poop bin etc.

My initial thought was it was better equipped than my local uk park and it was for doggies!

And this is country that is hard Up!

Regards
Al

do you know I just logged on & thought that to myself - one of dd's favourite groups at the moment is La Gossa Sorda - the deaf dog!! They're local from Gata de Gorgos

I have no clue why I wrote that - I guess the CAN bit must be a reference to canine:confused:

........and I logged on, had a swift glance and thought, hello, Dogging parks, the Spanish are really keeping up with the times.
