Ayuntamiento

A day of peace and quiet as the tribe bumbled off to the coast. Something to do with getting paperwork sorted out. I don't concern myself with paperwork much these days, don't seem to have the time. One of my thoughts today was about some of the tongue twister words in Spanish. Ayuntamiento is one such word. It means town hall or town council. Don Duende always gets in a pickle pronouncing it. Don't know why as it's very simple - A*yun`ta*mi*en"to.

Factoid: The town of Motril is located in the Spanish region of Andalucia on the Costa Tropical. It is the biggest town on the coast with a thriving commercial, fishing and leisure port. Nestling at the foothills of the Sierra Lujar mountains, Motril lies at the heart of the Costa Tropical which is one of the most lush and productive agricultural areas of Spain. The Costa Tropical Granada takes its name from the sub-tropical climate which enables the cultivation of exotic fruits and crops such as sugar cane, oranges, lemons, custard apples, avocadoes, mangoes and bananas. With warm winters and long hot summers giving an average year round temperature of 20C, this area is a magnet for Spanish and foreign visitors alike. Motril is the areas main commercial and shopping centre.
