Well, having sat on the veranda last night and observed another large
trailored vehicle arrive as well as hearing fireworks, I went to the bottom
of the road for a nosey.

The unfinished apartment blocks have people in caravans living in the
ground floor shell and outside the front the rather dishy fair men were
constructing a huge trampoline rig thing, something in spanish which looked
like some sort of arena, then another vehicle was being manouvered onto the
pavement with a huge articulated lorry sized trailor which when the sides
are down will surely take up a large portion of the road.

To my delight, there posted on the bottle bank is a programme of events and
posters of Spanish female artists who are going to perfom on Friday and
Saturday nights at 1.30a.m.! The festivities start at 8a.m. on Friday and
finish with the last thing coming on at 4.30a.m. on Monday morning!!As it
was in Spanish I was only able to work out a little bit of the detail but
there is going to be food and drink and opening ceremonies, a king will be
paraded/chosen, mister and misses will be chosen, there will be a huge
paella, things for children and lots of dancing. The last billed item of
each day starts at 4.30a.m. so I am now beginning to understand why we were
told we might as well forget any ideas of sleep. They resume on Saturday
and Sunday at 10a.m.

Then just beyond the bottle bank on some concreted fenced off area you
usuall just walk past and not notice there are lots of poles and canvas
awaiting erection, half constructed san miguel decorated counters (bars???)
and a stage is also being built!

Just down the road, a few doors down from the English bar I lovingly call
the Peacock is a plot of land between two rows of houses where they have
built the Dodgems!!

Well, what will be revealed when I go down there day? I am planning to take
my dictionary and check out the timetable again. Will they block the road?
Will more trucks arrive or are they all here? Watch out for third bulletin.
