Capullo De Rosa

Ahh, fin de semana. Sabado. Clear blue sunny sky. Empty casa. What shall I do today? I think I'll have a day butterflying. You get a sense of achievement from butterflying. Start 100 things, finish none, but hey you started them. Nope, I'm going lie on the terrace, all day. I'll probably take a break and have some tapas y agua. It's cool being a cat in your senior years, no one cares what you do. They expect you to siesta all day. Highly recommended. Ooh, look a rose.

Factoid: Motril Earthquake Day. On the 13th January there is a procession to give thanks for the scarce damage caused during the earthquakes of 1804 and 1884. This is one of the oldest annual traditions when the town remembers when a series of earthquakes caused serious damage in the municipality. The images taken out in procession are the Virgen de la Cabeza and Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno. During the earthquakes the inhabitants prayed to these images to bring an end to the tremors and at last they came to an end.

The was also another event on this day, the tremors are still being felt ;-)
