BACK FROM SPAIN PART 2

Saturday is Market Day, not just a tourist market but a market for the locals selling everything they could possibly need. It stretches from the top of the hill to the bottom and is always extremely busy.

When in Calpe one of our favourite things to do is have lunch with our friends Chris and Alan at their Finca in the mountains overlooking Calpe.

The best ribs and steak and kidney pie in Spain all washed down with copious amounts of wine and beer.

Lunch at Pepe’s , fab food and fab company.

  1. Oh, how fun. I love markets like this. That bag table, I see at least six of them I want to buy now. Thanks so much for sharing these and can't wait to see more.
