'We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us' A truly multi-national mammoth that travels the world visiting places of interest, making new friends and causing mischief wherever he can. With my carer Jo (bless her!) I have scaled castle walls, walked in the footsteps of Roman Emperors and Maharajah's, climbed mountains, contemplated caverns, caves and canyons and attempted the Le Mans 24 hour race on a skateboard! Whether it be climbing a Minaret in Mostar, Paddling in the Arabian Sea, Scaling mountains in Kotor, Feeding chickens in France or Catching trains in India, not... full info

Congrats!
How wonderful that you've got this next phase of your life in place with your new bar full of happy customers (it seemed you accomplished this rather fast), an out-of-town visitor and a holiday! And what a holiday--a gorgeous gorge and that adorable little hill town (my favorites). I know how you feel about that siesta business and all the closures. In Spain and anywhere, I often don't get out until pretty late in the morning, so I've just a small window before everything is closed. Will you keep your bar open during siesta? Interesting to see if it would be the only place open, so visitors would congregate, or would it be empty?

Thank you
It was lovely as so many of the Spanish towns can be. No we stay open all day as do the other bars but all the shops, museums etc close, our main customer base is expats so were not a traditional type of bar in fact we advertise as a traditional British bar in the sun with everything except the real ales.
