Our room was very large and modestly furnished with 2 double beds!
Albacete is famous for being the dagger, scissor and knife centre of Spain - hence the statue of the knife seller above. You have to look twice at these statues to see if they move as human statues have become so commonplace.
Also from this region of Castile-La Mancha is Don Quixote with his sidekick Sancho Panza, real statues again.
Margaret can't resist posing in the hotel corridor.
Second stop was at Alcalá la Real with it's own Moorish fortress...
...and then a very fine paella in the restaurant for the evening meal.
Topiary in it's early stages on a roundabout.
It's good to see the familiar view of the Mediterranean from the balcony of our apartment...
...and out the back the pine trees are flourishing.
On a walk along the beach we discover a sea urchin, (notice the fivefold symmetry - although you wouldn't be too bothered about that if you stood on one barefoot.)
As usual the food is great...
...as is the entertainment from this young lady, Lourdes,
On the way back we have an overnight stop at Almansa with it's 14th century castle.
Lunch the following day is at Peñiscola at a rather nice hotel although the 2 characters behind Margaret look a bit dodgy!
Another great holiday!
