Exercise

Gareth tell the world and put a stop to it, Phil has a mobile Gym set up specified in the new build stored in an outside locker and you both have pet tapeworms

I put it down to either witchery or a pact with the devil. There is no other explanation.

As I got very little sleep last night, lunch was an easy no thought tapas affair.

Gareth - your ‘no thought tapas affair’ would take me hours and it would still look crap up to yours … :rofl:

Why no sleep? Did Phil have the washing machine going on the off peak electric?

Sometimes it happens.

Many times, however we are not in whitby.

Although I'm sure one of the seaside places on the way to cadiz specialises in hake and chips with takeaway establishments.
Watch this space

When you get to Cadiz go to the fish market. You can buy all the types of tuna there including that beautiful marbled belly.

I walked out with weetabix under my arm. Loads with shopping bags seemed very few checks. Only suitcases seemed to be scanned

The pics are a suggestion of eating place in cadiz

We visited in December and brought back some groceries, they weren’t interested. It wasn’t Morrisons so not sure if that makes a difference as it was the small supermarket just before the border, I’m sure it was Waitrose.

Morrison's pork pies, no thanks lots of pastry and little filling, enjoy your time there.

I know we have nice tostada or double malt beers in Spain but this pint of tribute went down lovely.

That all looks very England to me.

Good luck with your tuna hunt. I had fresh tuna yesterday in old Panama City. I worried for a moment that it might be too rare but it was just melt in the mouth. It was a slice from a bigger tuna that had a seeded crust . Served with jasmine rice, beans but they were edamame and greens. The greens were a bit like kale but not bitter. Plus salad.

It’s still fresh mango season!

It would be rude not to enjoy a pint and fish supper.
Was it the best pint and fish supper I've ever had, no but definitely not the worst.

It filled the brief so job done.
Just ordered another pint

Mr porky · 2025-02-10T14:59:32+0000

Gibraltar is very marmite for a lot of people, we actually like to do a call in if we are passing.
Deal of the day was the 6 Christmas hats I bought for the business normally £10 each got them on sale for £2.99 each.
No pork pies but did get some lovely thick rindless back bacon, perfect.
Plus a very cheap belstaff t shirt, not a copy a real one at half price.

Has anyone done Tarifa, is it worth doing ?

Yes we loved it. The main stop is a bit of a shanty town so we moved to this one. Hotel has a bar and restaurant but go right along beach and the camp site bar and restaurant is right on beach.

Arte Vida Tarifa

If you turn left before Arte Vida there’s a long parking strip on the beach - I think Northernraider parked there- it’s on P4N I think
Walk along the beach and up to Hotel Hurricane chinguinita for lunch or better still in the hotel for dinner.
There’s also a very good Italian chinguinita restaurant at the end of the parking strip - in between Arte Vida and Dos Mare hotels
We’ve had some very good wine at the Hurricane…
Last time a new wine from Arcos called Teliser
( had it with the Chateaubriand)

That's the place that's like a shanty town IMHO.
