If only my Spanish had actually improved this holiday! We had a brief flurry of action trying to find a Spanish teacher for each of us, only to fail and then lose the welly to have another crack. People are seemingly waaaaaay less expensive here (15-30 euros an hour) than they are at home, but its finding the right one that is tricky – after doing this blog today I am finally going to email 'Ana in San Fernando' and see if she might be the one. Online dating – sort of.<\/p>\n

H and I had a nice trip back to Jerez this week, which is 35 mins away and is such a nice little city. It of course included lunch at Bar Juanito, a very popular and good restaurant that we've been to before just off the main square.<\/p>\n

Ostensibly the Jerez visit was in search of some new (cheap) Asics for me (epic fail) and of course it instead resulting in H buying 4 tops in the different shops we went into. I'll have a pair waiting for me care of Amazon now, on my return – the heels of these ones are spewing yellow foam now, all pointing to newbies def being needed.<\/p>\n

On the upside, one reason for my knackered shoes is that I have worked off 9,000 calories in exercise across these past 3 weeks – pretty damn good for a blob like me. Just back from this morning's speed walk and it's massively noticeable that it is HOT much earlier now. When we came 3 weeks ago it was still pleasantly warm going out for exercise from say 10-11.30, now it's 25 degrees already and sunny, sunny, sunny. Phew-ee. And of course, just one of us looks sweaty and scarlet in the photo midway round!!<\/p>\n

We've been exploring further this trip – new restaurants, beaches etc, as well as little towns – though it was nice too to go back and do the 'beach bar crawl' this week. Which involves cycling to the start of 'Big Beach', then walking 2 miles along the sand at pace (to earn – a bit of – what comes next), then stopping off at various of the chiringuitos bars on the way back for a drink or a nibble, or both. Here's H in one of them that is oddly not very popular despite having swings as seats all the way down one side of the long central table! And quirky lampshades throughout…<\/p>\n

And here's himself again, on our walk back from a fish restaurant we'd not tried before (good black spaghetti with seafood, but an incomprehensible menu too) – enjoying the sunset along our beach.<\/p>\n
