Its a Costa Blanca Knockout
Wednesday, July 9, 2008 @ 4:54 PM
I had a week of working part time whilst I had some friends come over to stay. Due to me spending so much time working and with the baby, I dont get many opportunites to go out. This was my chance and I grabbed it with both hands. I am not a drinker but I do like the sangria and a couple of litres was consumed over the space of the week. I helped the locals celebrate their countries success in the European championships whilst in Benidorm this was an amazing night with the beaches of Benidorm a sea of red shirts. I also partied hard in clubs such as Pacha in Torrevieja which plays a Spanish blend of high tempo music until the early morning.
On saturday we entered a team for the 'Its a Costa Blanca Kncok out 'competition and we lived up to the title as we were knocked out in the first round. It was hot work as we fought on giant inflatables 'Gladiator style' but it was a fun day. This competion is held every saturday evening for the next five weeks in the market place at La Marina and is worth a visit if you are local and there is still time to enter a team of eight people, if you are interested contact me and I will send you the relevant information.
It was the first time I have spent any time actually enjoying the area as a holiday maker rather then just working and I must say I did enjoy it.
