It didn’t take long for the town workers to be busy.
There seems to be a beehive of activity with lots of preparation for the “Festa Major de Sant Joan” which is happening on our beach for three days this weekend Friday to Sunday.
I’ll be writing and sharing more about that in another post.
After a slow start to the day, we headed out for more exploring along the promenade.
It was all about olives today. Look at the size of this trunk. This tree is ancient.
Here’s Señor Honey standing next to the trunk to give it some perspective.
He measures 5ft. 6 inches tall.
As we continued our stroll we discovered this display at a roundabout.
This olive press was gifted to the village by the Torrens Family.
It was another hot day, time to find a cool drink ... a table at a café with views of the beach below.
We sauntered back towards our apartment; admiring the gigantic flowers and rich colours of the various tropical blooms.
It was time for a light lunch ... some tapas at L’Ham which means hook (one of the many sea side restaurants/cafés on the promenade) while we watched all the activity on the beach.
A little calamari ... yummy!
After chatting with our server, we decided it might be wise to have dinner at La Sirga tonight rather than on the weekend during the “Festa” which translates to “ Big Party”.
Table for two reserved for 8PM, lots of time for a siesta.
You’ll have to come back to read about our dinner date.
