Fibby and anyone else that may visit the Playa Flamenca area, beware, a big fat ugly Spanish copper is handing out parking tickets on the road behind Supercor, the one where loads are people park and usually get away with it as there are no signs stating no parking when approaching from Lidl's, also if anyone picks this up who knows road markings what is the difference between a solid yellow line on the kerb (I thought no parking) and yellow (about 3 feet) and white (about 3 feet) markings.

Kerb markings mean absolutely nothing. I used to think black and white stripes from one side of the road to the other meant it was a designated and safe place for pedestrians to cross the road, but apparently it means "park here if you want to be completely objectionable and anti-social & in particular inconsiderate to wheelchair users".

In Marbella I believe the kerbs are decorated in blue and white, because they are the colours of the former mayor's football team (Athletico Madrid - whom he presumably fraudulently owned as well).

If you try to figure it all out, you will give yourself a migraine. Far better to buy some Irish number plates for your car, get a false Bulgarian driving licence, and to hell with trying to be law-abiding.

Cynically yours,

R

Here's the Major Cynic again!!  Roberto, I'm sure I'll always beat you on the cynic barometer!!

Try having a driver double park behind you - with their national (from UAE) female passenger in the back - while he's gone to get her coffee and croissant, with your three year old sitting in the back of the car at 45c temperature and when you ask the woman "well, since you won't budge, can I move your car" (keys still in ignition and engine on for the AC) she just gives you the typical middle eastern thumb and first two fingers to indicate "just wait" and won't even talk to you!  Strangulation comes to fingertips and a long slow death comes to mind!!!

Black and white stripes here just mean you speed up - as there are no lights and nobody stops anyway!!

Disabled parking slots are just normal parking slots with disabled signs and you will always see blacked out windowed cars parked in them!

I promise you compared to here, Spain was an absolute delight!!!  We hired a car in Madrid when we arrived and drove down to Duquesa and back, drove to Seville twice from Duquesa, put LOADS of klicks on the clock and I think we saw one accident!!

Loved it, it was a pleasure driving - although when I'm comparing it to here, anywhere on this planet would win!!

Queen Cynic signing off!!

Note left on windscreen of car illegally parked in disabled space: "STUPIDITY IS NOT A DISABILITY"

Priceless!

Well I suppose the most annoying thing was that he didn't  ask me if I wanted to make payment in kind, as per Fibby's mate. The Spanish they just have no taste !!!!
