Benidorm or bust.

Terrible weather today it’s rained heavily all day long and still persisting down, Had a fantastic Christmas Eve in the rock bars (saw no rock gods) but today as been the worst Christmas Day ever. ☹️

Bloody hell John! You can't complain too much. It looks like its been great from most of the photos so far. Well apart from your plethora of mishaps. Don't tell me you broke something else or got blown up or something? :LOL: :oops:

Christmas Eve was always a big party night for me back in the day and Christmas day always a bit shite.
 
Be warned the weather is dire, even had a alert on my mobile. Heavy rain and flooding expected in the Alt Emporda.

El País
Although not Benidorm it's self you pass through.
Do not forget your snow tyres as you also pass through the mandatory zones on the way.
Few actual checks other than random services by police, but should you be involved in any accident your in a very bad place legally.
Although Spain it's fiercely Catalan and a few words help a great deal .
Adeu!
 
Benidorm this evening.

I think i have a bottle of Madri in the fridge. How long does it keep? If it was wine, whisky or bacardi I wouldn't be asking of course ...
