Only about 20 miles from our house on Costa Esuri!

Didn't feel anything here in Ayamonte but that said Monchique is 130 kms away, ps your house was still standing when I was up on Esuri this afternoon.

My estimating skills were adrift should have said 75 miles as the crow flies or earthquake travels. Yes we are still standing and nothing has fallen off!
