I was browsing the Eye on Spain website earlier today (Sunday) - it was too hot to be outside - and I came across some interesting information.
Three top tens, and my posts feature prominently in all three listings.

The Top Ten most popular blogs
I assume this means the ones getting the most hits.
At number one is my old online "mate" Lenox Napier.
I've never met him but we are avid followers and "likers" of each other's posts.
I plan to visit him one day, but he lives in Mojacar (Almeria), a good five hour's drive from Ronda.
It's on my "bucket list"!

This is a list of posts which attract the most comments. I come in at 3, 6 and 9.
Rogues Gallery is where I name and shame individuals, organisations and companies who have done bad things.
Two of the posts here are about rogues: Holiday Rental Companies. Which is the worst? Booking.com. Ask any hotel, guest house or individual renter.
The other rogue is Vladimir Putin. Need I say more?
