Today’s outing was to go to La Bohemia for tapas. However, when we arrived there was no room at
the inn. There are only four tables
outside and two of those are high with high stools – not Jim friendly at
all! However, we did see all our boating
friends who were sitting inside. Martin
and Cathy and Dot and Gordon had only just arrived, so it was nice to say hello
to them.
We moved next door to La Cabaña where we had lovely beer and tapas.
We had a lovely sunset this evening.
Friday 6th March
Today was Turre market. We left
Jim at home as he was tired – we had had 3 busy days. Once in Turre we left Richard in a café and
Penny and I went off mooching with strict instructions not to be too long! I had seen some nice tops on my last visit
and managed to get two at €10 each.
Penny bought one and a pair of shoes.
We thought we had been very good and not been too long, but Richard
thought otherwise!
In the afternoon we went up to Bedar for afternoon tea at No 1 La
Meseta a lovely guest house where we partook of a very English tea on a balcony
in the sunshine with a magnificent view.
I had seen a post on Facebook before Penny and Jim arrived and had
provisionally booked the tea. No one
else was that keen but I decided to confirm it.
Fortunately, everyone decided that it had been a great and very
different idea.
On our way back we stopped to look at a tunnel called the Cargadero
Tres Amigos. It was built to load
material, mainly iron, which was sent to the tunnel by a cable system from the
surrounding mines.
Saturday 7th March
We were now on a roll doing the things we had planned – I had even put
everything on the calendar!
Firstly, it was a visit up to the Pueblo. We were able to drive right up into the town
centre and park with Jim’s disabled badge.
We went onto the observation platform for a coffee then suddenly the
square was inundated with high end motorbikes.
The noise of them coming up the hill was tremendous. The bikes surrounded the car and we wondered
if we would get out! We did some gift
shop shopping and went back to our coffee table where one person was always
left with the dog. Fortunately, most of
the bikes left just before we were ready to go and as we left the square there
were more motorbikes waiting to come up.
Some of the bikers were obviously delegated as stewards and they had
“Angeles Guardianes” on their backs. As
far as can suss out they are an “Association of Motorcycle Policemen, seventeen
years old, spread throughout Spain and with delegations Andorra and
France”. Their mission is to “foster
friendship and solidarity between the different biker clubs, groups and
associations that share our principles and hobbies.”
From the Pueblo we went down to the Chinese restaurant on the
Paseo. We sat outside, mainly as we had
Muffin, but also as it was such a lovely day. We had a great meal.
