We are in Granada, south end of Spain.
Easter has snuck up on us a bit. We tried to book overnight train tickets to Barcelona today (for tomorrow) and found that all the trains are fully booked for the next week.
WeŽve decided to head back down to the coast instead and take it from there. We are going to head to Almaria on the South West coast, where weŽve heard it is nice. Intended destination is a little town called San Jose, but weŽll see what happens. Being Easter all the Spaniards are travelling and accomodation is getting scarce. Even the little back-alley Pensions and Hostals we are staying in are booked up. Hopefully weŽll find something.
Easter in Spain is interesting. Every night during Easter week the churches have parades through the streets, with marching bands, large statues of Jesus and Mary surrounded by candles and people dressed in pointed hoods and robes, scarily like the Klu Klux Klan. Thousands of people turn out to watch each night.
Unfortunatly they donŽt seem to have Hot Cross Buns in Spain, and we both love them. DonŽt appear to have Easter Eggs either so we might have to improvise.
Off for a quick siesta then to a bar which we discovered last night has free Tapas when you buy a drink.
