I stopped and chatted, they are not twitchers, they are keen horticulturists, apparently they are waiting for a gardener or something. They have allotments and are expecting someone to come and plough the ladies gardens, and will pay 50 Euros for it. Or something like that, my Spanish isn't brilliant. :cool:*



*Disclaimer, I apologise unreservedly if I have overvalued their work

Are you sure you haven't offered to do it for them and they are going to pay you very kindly for your achievements;)

Phew ! thats a relief. :eek: We were all getting worried that something untoward was going on. Now we know where to go to get our fresh produce.
Hope my Spanish will be as adequate as yours.

There are apparently a lot of them working in some soon to be opened gardens in Punta Prima, but apparently they leave a lot of litter.

Yes I had the same language challenges.
I offered to use my horticultural tool, but they took it the wrong way I think.
