Post Semana Santa Doldrums
I'm getting a bit fed up with the screeching tyres as cars round the corner onto our street. The wax from a thousand marching candles has been spread by vehicles all round the town, making driving down the steep streets hazardous and the screeching of tyres ubiquitous.
Spring is making slow progress. We have April showers every few days and some strong winds. The Levante (easterly) was predominant the week before last and brought clouds and rain along the Costa del Sol. The wind rips the sand off the holiday beaches every year and has to be replaced for the summer season.
Spain's economy is getting a lot of coverage even in the Guardian. Spain has complied with all the EU demands on spending and has not had a sizeable sovereign debt yet it is in deep shit and trading insults with Italy. Guardian quotes 'more pain for Spain' Brilliant.
Had filetitos de pollo last night at Bar Las Dos Fuentes in the plaza. Very nice but marred by 10€ shortage in the change. This was left unresolved.
