Local Info
I have just had a look at Jur,s webpage he does have a good lot of local info on there worth looking at. Just learned that the road to Punta del Moral is not being repaired. It is having speed bumps to slow us down.

On the front page of your website www.****************** you have a picture of the strange but obviously successful business on the RHS at the roundabout after The Plaza. What do they do?

El Cajiron´s real job is delivering charcoal and firewood, he´s 130 years old and sometimes brings his dad to help unloading the jeep.

Re: Local Info
It´s meant as a joke, El Cajiron is quite a figure here. He´s the one driving around very slowly in the green & white jeep, during Christmas with a Christmas tree on top. The sign is from his "association of abused husbands" which organise celebrations for gay weddings, break-ups, divorces & funerals.

I have also had a look at Jurs informative web site and once again I read that the marismas are home to loads of wild life including flamingos. I'm on a flamingo hunt, the only place I've seen any are at el Rocio, do they really live around Costa Esuri? Where is the best place to spy them?

Spotted a group of flamingoes yesterday afternoon next to the bridge coming from Portugal towards Spain. A bit hard to get a good look while driving 100 k/hr.

It is a hoopoe, (not sure about the spelling) we get them in the garden but they are shy.
