Discovering a new life in Costa Almeria

Having made the decision that full time work really is bad for your health,my husband convinced me that we should get 2 puppies and retire early. What I hadn't anticipated was that retirement would see us in Almeria, in southern Spain. This is our story from making the decision to move to our life here. For more posts read the full blog at http://relocatetospain.blogspot.com. What I hadn't realised was that I wasn't ready to retire so after 2 years we are back in the UK. However, when I am finally ready to retire - Spain is still in the mix.

The Terreros Treasure Hunt (Part 2)
Thursday, September 25, 2008 @ 5:20 PM

Ok, fully refreshed, a quick trip was required to the loo in the bar, not for necessity but because the answer to one of the clues was hanging on the wall next to them. (It's OK, we were only looking for a picture of a Harley Davidson!)

Several questions were related to the square in Aguilas, including one about the type of bird hovering above the castle. This was to be found on the floor of the square where the local crest was inlaid into the paving stones. Now, it would probably have helped if we'd known that águilas was spanish for eagle, but trust me, it looked like a Phoenix to me - no points there then. Another was relating to the type of bird in the fountain in the square - looked like a swan to us - no points scored there either! (We never did find out what it was supposed to be)

Maybe we'll have better luck with the photo - remember, a unique living 'bird' - here's ours, a Strelitzia reginae!
