Arena y Roca

Had a chat with Toffee today. He is still shell shocked from the tormenta. His usual haunts are not quite what they were. He was dogged off about the pool. "It's alright for you pussy cat, but I can't go dunking any more"

The cleaning up in the pueblo is in full swing. There are dumper trucks, diggers and men with shovels everywhere. The vecinos still have their pool but they are debating whether they should open up a mud spa treatment centre. I suggested to Toffee he went dunking there. He was not amused. I thought it was funny.

Factoid: The tormenta was headline news in the Spanish press today. La violenta tormenta de agua con 'granizos como melocotones' Hailstones as big as apricots. hummmm, I don't think so.

In Spain, some 155 dailies exist, the majority of which are local or regional. The main newspapers in Spain are:-

EL PAÍS
