Beaches in Spain - Welcome 2006

Last Sunday was a glorious day. It truly felt like summer. So, swimming gear on, buckets and spades in hands (just the kids!), we all trotted down to the beach. It felt like ages since we'd last been to the beach to swim but I did brave it in the sea. I have to say, it was quite cold (it's ok after a couple of minutes when the whole body goes numb). But well worth it and the kids had a great time. Looks like beach weather is back now...

I am sure by now everyone knows about the mayor of Marbella being arrested last week. This seems to happen all the time (our mayor in Manilva was also arrested recently on similar charges). Marbella town hall has had quite a long history of being extremely corrupt...no matter who's in charge. I wonder whether they will ever get an honest mayor there?
