We spent a lot of time in the sunshine, at the beach, in the park and in town and even more time eating and drinking. It was a great trip!
I took a few pictures so here we are...
We went to Xativa on the Saturday in glorious sunshine .
The walk up to the castle is such a beautiful one but it was hot so we took our time and enjoyed the churches on the way. They have some statutes set up for their local celebrations through the summer.
The huge G&T was very welcome after such a long walk!
We visited in October for the first time but I was thrilled to be back, it's such a lovely town and the view from the top of the castle is stunning.
On Sunday we headed to the Bioparc for Jan and Les' first visit. We managed to be there in time to see the gorillas being fed, which in all our 10 or so visits, Rich and I hadn't seen before.
I'm always fascinated to see what's new and the baby gorilla is certainly an adorable addition to the park!
I think they both really enjoyed the visit. We then headed to the beach for paella where I forgot to take any pictures and then in the evening (after another much needed siesta) we headed to the international Festival in the park for mojitos and a light dinner.
After our mojitos, pizza, crepes and sausages (not all together) we enjoyed the dancers from around the world.
It seems I only took pictures of the weekend, but we saw out the week by eating at some delicious restaurants and drinking more mojitos. They really were the drink of the holiday!
I absolutely love planning for when people come to stay and then seeing how much they enjoy all of the great things we have here. I'm so glad they enjoyed their week and now I'm starting to think of the things that we can do with my parents in 2 weeks and my friends Lucy and Olly in 3 weeks. There's always something going on here!
