Thursday 26-10-2006




After dancing lessons last night followed by a disco at ‘you know where’ we have had a quiet day so far today.
It was raining as we got up but not hard and it hardly wet the ground before it stopped altogether. However it has left a cloudy and cool day today (fourteen- sixteen degrees). We are told that we should expect temperatures in the region of thirty one this week end.
We went down to Albox for some shopping and whilst we were there we walked round parts of the old town and rambla where preparations are well underway for the start of yet another four days of feria/fiesta.
The whole town is gradually being taken over by fair ground rides and huge marquees on any spare ground and down along the rambla (hope we don’t get a lot of rain in the mountains) ready for the partying until the early hours of the next four nights.
We want to sample the event so we might set off about nine or ten o’clock tomorrow evening. We will park the car at this side of the town so as to make an exit when we are ready. We will then go down on Sunday morning to see the procession with, we hope, lots of horses a little like the one we saw at Nerja.
We can expect loud music and fire works each night until Monday. With binoculars we can see right down to Albox near where the activity will be taking place.
Today’s pictures therefore are of preparations for the Albox feria. Also one picture looking back up from Albox to Mondrono where we live probably three quarters of the way up. Enjoy the week end.
