GAUCIN

Sun 1st April.
After our swim in the morning in the warm and covered pool,despite the
rain we went to the market at the marina in Estepona as Brenda wanted
to change her new costume,which the stall holder did with no problem.We
then went for a drive up into the mountains as the weather looked better
up over the hills,We went thru old Manilva and headed past the wind farms
and Casares and over a spectacular road to the mountain village of Gaucin.
It sits on the edge of a mountain and is reached by just the one road and
when you enter the town you can only drive thru it one way as the streets
are very narrow,we discovered later that during the Fiesta they have a
bull run when the locals can prove their manhood by running with the bull,
but with no where to escape except up the barred windows!!

Now I can track you down.
I've enjoyed reading your news & hope we can meet up when I am in Costa del Sol.
Hope the weather is going to be kind.
From the photos I've seen you look well.
Lots of love
