Madrid at sunset, if a bit dark…
As promised, back to sharing pictures. I went to Madrid a few days after Christmas. I guess I was in need of meeting friends and family, have some good food and a bit of sun. The weather was a bit better than in London, at least, warmer. One of the days I just wandered around…
Cley next the Sea
Here goes another set of pictures I took some time ago, also in the summer of 2015. The weather was nice enough to do some visits to coastal places in Norfolk, a region here in England I like lots. This time was in Cley Next the Sea. I went there with a friend, and we walked a…
Kew Gardens
As promised, a gallery with some pictures of Kew Gardens, taken during my Christmas holidays. A cold, but sunny day, great for a long walk… 🙂
Summer holidays
Time for some holidays. I won’t be able to update this blog very often for a while. But in the meantime, you can have a look at my twitter stream to get an idea of possible future posts. For example, recently I got a new mobile phone. My previous one had a very crappy camera, but…
fisherman
A young man fishing in Guardamar del Segura, a typical holiday place in the Mediterranean. But I like it, I have spent some very nice summers there. I have never been too sure about the framing of this picture. Too much sea? Is the fisherman in the right place? Hmm…

Medina Sidonia
Medina Sidonia was our base for exploring Cadiz. Well, it wasn’t exactly an expedition. We were on holidays, so the plan was just visit some places, go to the beach, eat good food, etc. Nothing more adventurous, to be honest. Just spend a good time in a place we didn’t knew. Its funny, because I…
Bolonia’s beach
Possibly, the best beach I’ve ever been. And I’m not the only one who thinks that. Just search for this place on google, and you’ll see this beach appearing in all sort of rankings and lists. And still, it feels pretty isolated. There is just a tiny road that brings you there. And the food in the restaurants close by is…
I’m back!
I really have enjoyed this trip to Spain. I think I’ve done something like 4000 Km in just three weeks. Cadiz, Albacete, Leon and Madrid have been the places I have visited. The white walls shown in the first picture are in Vejer de la Frontera. It is one of white towns in Cadiz and they are called…
