Favourite…


With a bit of Renfe high-speed technology we blasted south in the morning into Valencia and then out the other side on a slower regional train. We are heading for a retreat in the hills, in the ‘Solana de Benecadell’ National Park, swopping the beach for a pool.

Most people use Google maps to get around and find places to go and locate restaurants etc. I am no exception for enjoying a browse to see what other likeminded travellers have written. Just recently, I came across the very best review I have ever read in my entire life. It has to be my favourite and in the words of the song “ will be a favourite for a long time”.


It was for a local kebab shop and the post was simply this “He venido media hora antes de cuando indicaba que estaba abierto y estaba cerrado!”


If you don’t speak Spanish then you will have to use Google translate but I can almost guarantee it will be worth it!


‘Favourite’ just happens to also be a favourite track of mine by them Dublin boys, the ‘Fontaines D.C., here doing a live version for Jools Holland.
