Sunny, Sunny Spain

It has been nearly two years to the day since our last blog post. I suppose we left the blog a bit up in the air. Our last post told of our voyage to our final destination on our round the world trip, China. One day we may even post the blogs from China.

Since our return home we have moved house twice, welcomed the newest addition to our family; Burrito, maintained employment for longer than a year and continued to travel, albeit a little bit closer to home and for a lot less time than we might desire!

We still both have itchy feet to travel and are currently planning our trip when we have a month off in the summer.

We have decided to start blogging again more for the memories ourselves, I quite often have flashbacks to our big trip and check the blog to remember where it was that we had that amazing dish or stayed it that random hostel.

For now we will post from our latest trip- Murcia, Spain. We stayed in the village of Covera with Matt’s Mom and Dad (the trip was a Christmas present, for which we are very grateful). The holiday was not a normal one for us, no weird and wonderful modes of transport (just the local bus) or dingy hotel rooms in remote places (very modern and pleasant apartment block!), just a relaxing sunny family holiday, just what we needed to keep us going to the next trip!

Matt just cannot get enough of Doors!

Enjoying the morning view (and sun!)

Looking out over the dusty fields

Los Alcazares

Corvera is a sleepy town

Pastel painted walls

Surprised by the procession

That looked heavy

Still dry

Cracked it after one shot

Good Friday Procession in Murcia

Everyone of the costumes is stuffed with sweets

Sunday market in Corvera

Medieval festival

Salt flats near lo Pagan

Sun setting behind the 19th hole

Yet another festival, this time first day of summer

Another procession

The smallest horse got the biggest cheer

Silk worms?
