2.15 callout but peace thereafter until a latish start as it's Sunday. Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs again.
Once again a cool start but warming up quickly with the sun. After breakfast we were taken to Aguilas for a looksee and to get some cash. Parked on a very bust harbour and a short walk into the central plaza, noting that all the restaurants were full of Spanish families doing what they do on Sundays. We'd heard bells, trumpets and drums and upon entering the square we walked into a celebration of the local saint, who had been paraded around the town in/on/whatever a huge silver coffin carried by a dozen men. Carried back into the church the crowd dispersed and we managed to get cash from an ATM, for a change being offered our selection of notes rather than all €50 - have you ever tried to buy a coffee with a £50 note?
Speaking of coffee, we found a cafe in a nice sunny spot for cafe con leche and watched the world go by before strolling back to the car and returning to base where Jamie was patiently waiting - we left him because there was no room for his cage and he would not travel otherwise. No matter because it doesn't seem to bother him.
Aguilas is not a big town although it does have quite a lot of commercial and industrial devlopment around it together with, of course, areas of holiday accomodation.
More chat then an earlyish night. We've been so lucky with the weather, almost continuous bright sunshine with light breezes giving temperatures up to around 18C during the day, if closer to freezing overnight.
