This year I've been to Sunny Spain - Hey Viva Espania.

Sun, Sea and a Flavour of Spain

There's only so much rain and dark, gloomy cold winter days a chap can bear. Solution - holiday!

Flight from Exeter to Malaga nice and straightforward. Malaga is often overlooked by the masses who just transfer immediately to the Costa Del Sol resorts.

Malaga - Picasso and TaPasties

Malaga has a new Picasso Museum which was on the "must do" list. Christ on a bike - he can't draw! A whole museum of rubbish line drawings and sketches - no famous stuff - I was robbed. Funny how the admissions staff "no comprendo" when I asked for a refund.

Malaga remains fairly Spanish and is home to dozens of Tapas bars - small narrow eateries with hams and stuff hanging above the counter, tempting dishes on display and of course a whole load of local booze. Mmm Mmm Malaga wines - sweet dolce and gabbana - Pedro Ximinez, Sherry O Sherry O Baby and Brandy de Jerez. Note - in Malaga the pronunciation of Cerveza is aided if you can be thumped in the mouth before asking Thhlluurrrrvbsethsta - thanks Sylvester.

¿Tiene usted pastoso en el menú de tapas?

The Trains in Spain

Are cheap clean fast and on time.

Two and a half hours later - Confortel Seville

Seville was stunning - biggest Christian Cathedral in the world, the awesome Alcazar AND the El Corte Inglis Department store with its speciality delicatessan had freshly imported pasties from both Cornwall and Devon. Ole!

"Pase las Tapas Pastosas" roughly - pass the tapas pasty. "Ronce en"
