dead. I am a writer who loves cats. Across the years various ferals have moved
in with me. I also stroke any cat I see as long as they allow this. I have
written on many other subjects but rarely on felines, so I thought it was time
to do a series dedicated to the cats of the city I live in. Cats have
co-existed with humans from the earliest times. In the case of Cartagena, they
even entered the politics of the city. I tell this story in the last two poems.
Other poems are just dedicated to the different personalities of cats who live
with me or those I encountered around the city. Some of these poems have been
published in the Lady Magazine and on my Patreon page. Profits from this book
will be spent on cat food. </span><span style="font-family: "Baskerville Old Face",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: "Baskerville Old Face"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Baskerville Old Face";">Most

Soy una escritora que ama a los gatos. A lo largo de los años, varios salvajes
se han mudado conmigo. También acaricio a cualquier gato que veo, siempre y
cuando lo permitan. He escrito sobre muchos otros temas, pero rara vez sobre
felinos, así que pensé que era hora de hacer una serie dedicada a los gatos de
la ciudad en la que vivo. Los gatos han coexistido con los humanos desde los
primeros tiempos. En el caso de Cartagena, incluso entraron en la política de
la ciudad. Cuento esta historia en los dos últimos poemas. Otros poemas están
dedicados a las diferentes personalidades de los gatos que viven conmigo o los
que encontré en la ciudad. Algunos de estos poemas han sido publicados en la
revista Lady y en mi página de Patreon. Las ganancias de este libro se gastarán
en comida para gatos. La mayoría de las regalías de mis libros lo son.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>ALIEN CATS</b></div>
<div>
Just over a year ago I took up painting again and produced a long series of alien cats. I have sold a few dozen. They are oils on canvas at 20 euros plus postage. Typical postage to another European country is 10/15 euros for 1 to 2 paintings. Here are some pictures. They are also on Facebook.<br />
Get in touch if you want one. More<br />

<br />
I have been snorkelling for years and during 2016/2017 I decided to carry on doing it in winter too. Cold-water swimming is great for the health. I also find things. Last year´s snorkelling kept the males of the family in underwear. I plan to update this often with my finds.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My husband, who henceforth shall be known as Beast, only swims in the summer. Here he is, far out at sea, talking to cormorants. There were six at the beach on this occasion which is an absolute record. Some sort of cormorant conference going on.</div>

<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike>June finds included a fidget spinner, an orange shoelace (still looking for its pair) and hair scrunchies which I will donate to son as he is the only one in the family with long hair. We also acquired another snorkelling mask. On the 14th, I found 12 dead sea bream. They were obviously fresh. Someone had made a nick in the stomach and not gone any further with gutting them. I took them home, cleaned them and cooked them for the cats. I also clean up the sea a little, removing things like abandoned fishing line and plastic bags. At the end of the month got pair of pants with !I´ve got a big banana" on the front of them. They are a perfect fit for Beast.<br />
<br />
July sea is a smegtail of small life. Hard to tell what it will grow up into. Finds included pants and T-shirts and some useful goggles which was just what Beast needed.<br />
<br />
August brought extremely hot water temperatures, almost felt like a swim in the bath. There were stories in the papers about hungry saddleback bream attacking swimmers, but I take these with a pinch of salt. They all looked quite peacable to me.<br />
<br />
In September, I first saw needlefish at my local bay. These usually only turn up on the other side of the port. I try to keep out of their way as they are slightly aggressive and have been rumoured to prod the odd diver with their sharp probosces.<br />
<br />
October was a good month for recovering fishing lures. I prefer fishing with bait but my son likes them. Most of the lost lures turned up off the little beach known as San Pedro. Presumably a rather amateur fisherman kept losing them on the rocks. Their loss my gain.<br />
<br />
November temperatures were still pretty good so I kept going with ease. Not many knickers or fishing lures out there though.<br />
<br />
Getting cold now at the start of December. The Full Moon always brings the temperature down. I am now entering the part of the year when will-power is needed.<br />
<br />
Didn´t get desperately cold till the end of Jan or start of Feb. Defimite willpower needed now. I have learned to stop shivering. I take a certain twisted joy in luring others in. Young men are often tempted then leave with a yell as the water reaches their bollocks.<br />
<br />
March and April were still cold. There have been occasional sightings of small Portuguese Men of War off La Manga. Hope they don't come here. Have realised that I did see one off Cortina years ago. Did not know what it was at the time and searched a jellyfish page. They are not true jellyfish so it wasn't there. Recognised it recently when I saw photos in the paper.<br />
<br />
You can follow me on Patreon or better still become a patron for a dollar a month for which you get to see some new work which is unpublished elsewhere as yet. I upload a little new work each month. There is also some new work set for Public viewing if you follow me there. This does not cost a dollar. Nothing to lose.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I recently finished a book on
mineral hunting in the Sierra Minera, Washing Amethysts in the Bidet, and am
looking for a publisher. It is a mix of history and anecdotes and is absolutely
unique as there are no other books on this area in English. I also have a book on life in Spain, Traito or Ambassador, a large new poetry collection drawn from more than 10 years of writing, Around the World in Eighty Lays. It gave birth to a smaller collection
devoted to mines, minerals and mining, In Search of San Valentin. My agent is Annette Crossland of A for Authors</span></div>

I am currently preparing new ebooks including one on the Fortifications of
Cartagena. These are spread across 50 kms or so and have therefore required a
substantial amount of hill-walking. My most recent pamphlet is from Rack Press and is available from them:<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Future work will include more poems
and novels. I am at the start of a picaresque novel, a form I have enjoyed
reading. Spain contributed many novellas to this genre.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

provided the fee and expenses are adequate. No freebies given. Travel from
Spain is probably quicker and cheaper than from Scotland or Wales to London. I
live within half an hour of Murcia airport. I would also like more judging work
for either prose or poetry. Current judging experience includes Glastonbury and
the Commonwealth prize, the latter for short stories, and the Forward Young
Responses prize, a sideline from their main awards. Also happy to do
anonymous pre-judging. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Would love to get a prize for
my writing. Anyone in power who likes my work please nominate me for those

Most of my life is taken up with writing and research related to it. I
occasionally also sell minerals I have found and jewellery I have made in
artesan fairs. At some stage I will post photos of pieces. I don´t do much
trading of them outside Spain because postage is expensive. Might work for
several items rather than one though. I also paint alien cats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I recently
finished a book on mineral hunting in the Sierra Minera, Washing
Amethysts in the Bidet, and am looking for a publisher. It is a mix of history
and anecdotes and is absolutely unique as there are no other books on this area
in English. I also have a large new poetry collection drawn from more
than 10 years of writing. It is called Around the World in Eighty Lays. It gave
birth to a smaller collection devoted to mines, minerals and mining, In Search
of San Valentin. My agent, Giles Gordon, died some years back, RIP. I would
like to acquire another, especially to submit the new poetry collection to
Picador which will not look at agentless books. Anyone out there?</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><br />
I am currently preparing new ebooks including one on the Fortifications of
Cartagena. These are spread across 50 kms or so and have therefore required a
substantial amount of hill-walking. Hope to have this finished in a few months.
Some more routes to be walked first. I will also be producing some short
pamphlets on other topics. Some of these will be free. My current ebooks
for Kindle are all full length collections, novels or travel books, apart from
a short guide to the Minerals of the Sierra Minera.<br />
My most recent pamphlet is from Rack Press and is available from them:<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Future
work will include more poems and novels. I am at the start of a picaresque
novel, a form I have enjoyed reading. Spain contributed many novellas to this
genre.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I am also
available to give readings provided the fee and expenses are adequate. No
freebies given. Travel from Spain is probably quicker and cheaper than from
Scotland or Wales to London. I live within half an hour of Murcia airport. I
would also like more judging work for either prose or poetry. Current judging
experience includes Glastonbury and the Commonwealth prize, the latter for
short stories, and the Forward Young Responses prize, a sideline from their
main awards. Also happy to do anonymous
pre-judging.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Most of my life is taken up with writing and research related to it. I
occasionally also sell minerals I have found and jewellery I have made in
artesan fairs. At some stage I will post photos of pieces. I don´t do much trading
of them outside Spain because postage is expensive. Might work for several
items rather than one though.<span class="xapple-converted-space"> </span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>I also paint alien cats.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Earlier
versions of this blog were loaded with photos of life in Spain. I now have a
great many more pictures on Facebook and Pinterest so I am making the blog into
something much simpler. The earlier version should still be archived here if
you want to see the photos.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the 14
years or so since my agent, Giles Gordon, died I have tried sporadically for
another. Many agents do not reply. Others already have enough clients and
sometimes suggest a new recruit to their office. Sadly, these new agents are
generally so young they were born after my famous period, 1986 to 1994 or so. I
have a good track record of publishers, you can see this by Googling my name or
looking on Amazon, but I am still finding it difficult to find someone to
represent me. One of the agents who came nearest said that Washing Amethysts in
the Bidet would probably appeal to Picador but was not commercial enough for
him. Sadly, Picador will not look at either that or the poetry books as I have
no agent. Will let you all know when I get one!</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="ES-TRAD">When I mention Spanish politics to an English person they invariably say how corrupt it is. I say that I think the politics in most countries is corrupt but that at least the Spanish admit it, unlike the English. Acknowledging it may well be the first stage to cleaning up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">Just over four years ago, Spain started the Indignados movement and people protested peacefully across the country. It took off across the world. In what I am seeing in the recent local elections, I suspect that Spain is about to lead the way again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">In the European elections in 2014, a new party called Podemos (we can) got five “diputados” elected. One of them was from the city where I live, Cartagena. While Podemos might be too far left for many of us there were things that impressed the general public, most notably that they chose to give away two thirds of their salary and also that they set up discussion groups arround Spain to find what the ordinary voter wanted,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">Another party, Ciudadanos (Citizens) came first from Catalonia. While it is more to the right than Podemos it also was calling for “transparencia” and an end to the old corrupt ways. With these two parties, credible alternatives were there for those who no longer fancied PP or PSOE, the two old parties that had held sway for many years and were riddled with corruption.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">The local elections in May saw a great many new faces elected in town halls all over Spain. While these councillors may possibly become corrupt in time, most are not at the start and have entered with altruistic motives. This in itself is a novelty. While the new parties were not generally strong enough to provide Mayors they were often able to forge alliances with existing parties to swing the vote away from PP: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">To explain this in more detail I shall unfold the full story of what happened in the local elections in Cartagena. Cartagena is a small city with just over 200 thousand inhabitants. It has been important historically at various times in ancient history and is also one of Spain´s largest ports. The story of the election has a fairy tale quality. The feral cats of the city also played their part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">I come into this tale in the way that Pippin and Merry came into the story of the Storming of Isengard. The people of Cartagena in a sense resembled the ents as they were fundamentally good, slow to anger and had put up with a lot. Over the last few years I joined a number of demonstrations on various matters. The first was over building on Monte Sacro. Monte Sacro was one of the five hills that Cartagena was founded on. It had not been properly excavated, but the Council decided to term a chunk of its rock and the earth alongside as a “solar”, a building site. Permissions were granted in spite of all archaeological considerations and work on a block of flats began. I demonstrated for a year and made friends and acquaintances galore through this. We failed to save the hill from this desecration, though various denuncias were made. There is now a half-built block of flats there with some damaged city wall beneath its concrete. It is probable that it will stay half-built. I also demonstrated on other issues that felt important to me, most were connected to the environment or saving historic areas or buildings. I was invariably the only English person there. Some were surprised I bothered as I was not born in Cartagena or even Spain. I explained that I believed that the “patrimonio” was a part of world heritage and important to us all. Sometimes people said it made them feel they must demonstrate at least as much as the English woman who had joined them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">A few months before the 2011 elections I became part of a small party, ICCT, Iniciativa Ciudadania Cartagena, hoping to get a candidate in. They made me their secretary for the environment, in part because I was the chief hill-walker amongst them and got to see and record some places few others went to. I have been writing a book on the Sierra Minera for many years and hope to finish it in the next few months. Part of my researches included checking out old mines and quarries and the vast tracts of uninhabited land around them. Our party didn´t get enough votes for a councillor but I learned a lot about the local political system and made friends also.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">At this period, I went on a walk known as the Ruta de las Fortalezas. It was 50 kilometres across 4 mountains and organised by the local military. This made me begin to study the history of the local fortifications. I became interested particularly in the Cantonal War of 1873. I felt an amused satisfaction that Cartagena was actually a separate canton for 6 months and minting its own coinage. Most years I go up the San Julian mountain to celebrate this on the evening of July the 12th. Someone runs up a flag of the Cantonal colour, blood red, and we sit about sharing food. It´s a way of commemorating an interesting piece of history<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that the local council does not choose to celebrate. In 2014, I was bottle-feeding several kittens that had been dumped at birth. My son was willing to mind them in the morning but not in the evening while I went out. This meant that I went to a different unofficial celebration of the Cantonal War on Mount Atalaya. This was the area which was connected with the betrayal which ended the War. I had been invited to participate by the younger members of Movimiento Ciudadano, a party with just one councillor in the Ayuntamiento. Again this ceremony involved running up a flag and reading speeches. It was here that I met José Lopez, the true star of the local election story. On the way up the mountain he cleaned up various bits of rubbish that others had left there and put them in carrier bags to dispose of later. He then invited the dozen or so of us for sardines in a local restaurant near a sports centre. I was generally impressed with him as a man who was willing to clear up other people´s rubbish and listen to the opinions of the people. He also seemed to have a kind of energy and charisma <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I googled his history afterwards and found that he was a baker´s son who had made a business out of coffee and now had plantations in Nicaragua. The average Spanish baker often has a coffeeshop alongside his bakery where you can enjoy coffee and cakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">In story after story in local papers I realised that José Lopez was fighting a lone battle against corruption. I began to be impressed that one man on his own could be so effective without other councillors backing him. The fact that he was a successful businessman helped him be less frightened as politicians tried to sue him for defamation. Many others would have backed down in the circumstances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">The Cantonal War can sound a bit like Passport to Pimlico but it is a significant story to many who seek to defend Cartagena. It was a bloody war with a great loss of lives and property. What is important to many these days is that it was a period when Cartagena was independent and also had such strength it took national and international forces plus a betrayal to subdue it. It has a special resonance for “cantonalistas” who want to see Cartagena as a province separate from Murcia. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">In my time with a small party in 2010 to 2011 I learned that Cartagena has 27 council seats in the Ayuntamiento. Each party has to provide a list of 30 names to fill these 27 seats and provide 3 spares. Cartagena had been safely PP for 20 years, but the emergence of various scandals including the large corruption case known as Operación Punica began to eat away at the solidarity of the PP vote. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">Lots of seemingly unnecessary public works were being done. Squares were being renovated and ruined in the process. Ancient trees were moved so often I began to liken the Mayoress to Saruman in my head. The PSOE<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mayor who was in charge for 4 years before the Mayoress was arrested. He had the Mayoress´ credit card on him <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at the time (they were friends). This was the card used for expenses. This resulted in one of the best pre-election jokes. The Mayoress, Pilar Barreiro,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was running a publicity campaign consisting of various PP citizens saying “Soy Pilar” (I am Pilar) then going on to say why. Myself and others made spoof videos saying why we weren´t Pilar, but by far the best offering came from someone who put a picture of the arrested former PSOE Mayor with Soy Pilar on it, then explained below that he must be Pilar because he had a credit card with her name on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">With all this going on, the PP vote shrank to way below that necessary to confer an automatic right to choose the Mayor. Yet another matter lowered their popularity: The Councillor for Health sent a very unpleasant letter to the head of a small charity, Cuatro Gatos, that helps stray cats and had been given leave to run 5 colonies in the city centre. That charity is run by a long-term friend of mine. What Ana had done wrong was question the running of the dog pound which was receiving 300,000 euros a year and put dogs down rather fast. Although her colonies were all sterilised with money from Brigitte Bardot´s charities the letter threatened to put them all down unless she turned in a plan for mass vaccination, chipping, etcetera in an impossibly short space of time. They were offering no money to help her do this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">There was a mass demonstration for animal rights where several local political parties offered solidarity. Ana got more than 11,000 signatures on a petition and got international animal welfare societies interested. People like myself tweeted how bad putting down cats would be for tourism. The Council did not apologise or withdraw its threats<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>but instead pretended to the press it had never made them once they saw they were getting bad publicity. Not the brightest move when their letter´s wording is available online.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">At the same time this was going on, Ana had joined Ciudadanos and decided to stand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was third on their list and got elected. Though I did not vote for this party I immediately congratulated her saying that there was now a voice for the cats in the Ayuntamiento.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">I watched the numbers of votes counted online round midnight on the 24th of May with some trepidation. Another PP victory could mean a mass feline slaughter perhaps. The final count gave 10 seats to PP, 6 to PSOE, 5 to Movimiento Ciudadano, 3 to Ciudadanos and 3 to Cartagena Si Se Puede (connected to Podemos). There was hope in these numbers. Before June 13th a pact had to be made. Only 14 seats would give the chance to elect a Mayor. With so much bad behaviour from PP, there was noone left for them to cosy up to. Ciudadanos might have been a possibility if they hadn´t threatened the cats. But now, Ciudadanos was pro-animal thanks to input from Ana. Neither was Movimento Ciudadano a possibility, as José Lopez had been proving a scourge to the Mayoress. At this point she resigned and not<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>before time. The reason given was to make an accord between the parties. But the two PP members who tried to negotiate included the councillor who wanted to slay the cats and who had not been on good terms with José Lopez judging by other stories on the internet. Relations<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>broke down almost immediately. In the days that followed, Movimiento Ciudadano provided a list of mínimum conditions for an alliance. It was a bold strategy. There seemed to be brief accords with the other parties apart from PP. In the last day or two all seemed to have gone wrong with what appeared to be a power struggle for the position of Mayor between MC and PSOE. The Cartagena Si Se Puede councillors offered to mediate. On the 13th, I was depressed, thinking victory would go by default to PP. Even the body language confirmed this with José Lopez looking angry as he voted. I watched it streaming online as all places in the town hall were taken by relatives. In a moment of high drama it turned out that there was a last minute alliance between 3 parties. I began to get an inkling when the ladies of Cartagena Si Se Puede put their votes in the urn with a look of satisfaction. They reminded me of the Graces with their quiet role in all this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ciudadanos it turned out had agreed to turn in blank votes to help. José Lopez, the scourge of corrupt politicians, is now Mayor for two years, while the head of PSOE, Ana Belén Castejón will be Mayoress for the following two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">What a wonderful fairy tale ending that the baker´s son who was given the worst room in the Ayuntamiento to wage his lone war against corruption is now the man in office. I also felt some satisfaction seeing the look on the face of the would-be cat slayer. His expression closely resembled that of a toad that had sat on a grenade. Viva Cartagena.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="ES-TRAD">All over Spain, interesting stories are unfolding from towns sick of corruption. What a wonderful world it could be if all the Mayors were decent. Let´s hope Spain can show the way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am the author of more than twenty books of poetry and prose. Most are available on Kindle and one or two are still in print. My Amazon page is here:<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001K7VT4S" style="font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank">ttp://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001K7VT4S</a><br />
My work in progress includes a book on mineral hunting in the Sierra Minera and another of essays on life in Cartagena. I am also working on new poetry collections. Trying to market a huge one called Around the World in Eighty Lays as well as writing the one after. My next book scheduled for publication is Mineral Adventures, a short pamphlet for Rack Press. It is due out in 2015. My agent, Giles Gordon, died some years back, RIP. I would like to acquire another, especially to submit the new poetry collection to Picador which will not look at agentless books. Anyone out there?<br />
I am currently preparing new ebooks including one on the Fortifications of Cartagena. These are spread across 50 kms or so and have therefore required a substantial amount of hill-walking. Hope to have this finished in the autumn. I will also be producing some short pamphlets with essays or poems. My current ebooks for Kindle are all full length collections, novels or travel books, apart from a short guide to the Minerals of the Sierra Minera.<br />
My most recent pamphlet is from Rack Press and is available from them:<br />

Link to my reading of on of the poems:<br />

Would love to get a prize for my writing. Anyone in power who likes my work please nominate me for those where I cannot nominate myself.<br />
I am also available to give readings provided the fee and expenses are adequate. No freebies given. Travel from Spain is probably quicker and cheaper than from Scotland or Wales to London. I live within half an hour of Murcia airport. I would also like more judging work for either prose or poetry. Current judging experience includes Glastonbury and the Commonwealth prize, the latter for short stories. Also happy to do anonymous pre-judging.<br />
Contact me for professional matters only on <a href="https://www.blogger.com/livinginspain@hotmail.com">livinginspain@hotmail.com</a><br />
Most of my life is taken up with writing and research related to it. I occasionally also sell minerals I have found and jewellery I have made in artesan fairs. At some stage I will post photos of pieces. I don´t do much trading of them outside Spain because postage is expensive. Might work for several items rather than one though. <br />
I am also looking to sell a lot of my huge library now Kindle has made getting old books so much easier. Much of what I have available is late nineteenth to early twentieth century. Some books mentioned here:<br />

My husband, James Plaskett, does many chess tournaments in Spain. He has co-written Bad Show with Bob Woffinden. He is available for chess lessons on sites such as ICC, Skype, etc. Contact him on <a href="https://www.blogger.com/haroldplaskett@yahoo.co.uk">haroldplaskett@yahoo.co.uk</a> if you are interested. He has coached David Howell amongst others.<br />
Earlier versions of this blog were loaded with photos of life in Spain. I now have a great many more pictures on Facebook and Pinterest so I am making the blog into something much simpler. The earlier version should still be archived here if you want to see the photos.<br />

It contains pictures of my family and pets and others related to my hobbies. I also have several other blogs listed in my profile that contain more specific data on the area I live in. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">I am the author of twenty-one books - poetry, novels, travel, anthologies. </span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;">My most recent book was the Selected Poems published in 2008 by Salt Publishing.</span><span style="font-family: lucida grande;"><a href="http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smp/9781844714537.htm">http://www.saltpublishing.com/books/smp/9781844714537.htm</a></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">My life in Spain includes cat rescue, mineral collecting, karate, hill-walks, snorkelling, concerts, kayaking and fishing. My son took the photos of me with cats included. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucida grande;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: lucida grande;">In 2002 I moved to Spain with my family. Initially we were in ex-pat land - Playa Flamenca near Torrevieja. In 2006 we moved to Cartagena and love it there. We have a collection of adopted feral cats. At the moment we have eight. Feral cats are extremely intelligent and independent. When things are not to their liking they move off to another colony. I adored Lucia but she took exception to veterinary treatment and vaccinations and decided to return to the wild. Deaf Amazon moved off after beatings from her brother, Dragon. Sonny Chiba left after a big fight with Shen. Apart from the cats I think of as mine, there is a feral half-Siamese female who visits for leavings. Currently all my cats are male. At the moment we have Jet Li, Dragon Lee, Pedo de Lobo, David, El Gran Wyoming, Sherlock Holmes, Leopold and Chuck Norris. The cat in the photo below was Mofeta. Unfortunately he was shot (RIP). He was a great cat who helped to mother incoming kittens</span><br />

Dragon Lee was the son of a feral cat but born in a house unlike most of the others. His family - ex-pats - subsequently dumped the rest of the litter. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249872249579099106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM8daNkQvRwRxVocFCqoh-bXgwSW5406iXwhYU7oodn-Xf__uPTZVious5PUtDKe-EXB3_AlK4d0vURYRbMOTHlax99dF4x51sY4ZFro8v7ZTz1FUhJffRIQktpx53O8j4RSRXn4pIFSw/s320/Dragon+Lee+and+Mao+Ying.bmp" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></span><br />
Jet Li, below, was dumped in a road in Playa Flamenca at a few weeks old. He was so small he could fit in the palm of your hand. He weighs about sixteen pounds now but can still run very fast. He loves drinking water in the shower. He is what is known as a "suckler". Many cats who lose their Mums young take a human substitute and suckle from their neck or inside elbow on a regular basis. Jet started breastfeeding from my husband then went over to my son´s neck. He then sucked the necks of almost any boy who entered the house. He sometimes knocked them down first then pounced on them on the floor. He wasn´t interested in suckling from girls.<br />

<br />
Bruce Lee (shown below) was given to us with his sister by Joe the Cat Man, a great guy who rescues cats and is involved in animal charities in the Torrevieja and Quesada area. They were feral kittens whose mother had been run over. Unfortunately both Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan died of leukaemia. We taught them both to skateboard while we were living in Playa Flamenca. Bruce lasted till he was almost 10.<br />

Below is an old photo of Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan with their leads skateboarding alongside our son one night at our former home. Bruce Lee used to enjoy a walk on a lead. We don´t do that where we live now though as there are feral dogs as well as feral cats on the streets.<br />

Shen came free with the house as he was living on either our roof or one of the adjoining ones. He was half-Tonkinese, half Siamese. He died recently at about nine or ten years old. RIP Shen.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213644719007859394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4WpB2hOZ3TImDY39zwjN_COB7fhGyoTktbzJZEpE0kzWlf_0AE0tVJPHPqR1fUKx5f33CDHfi7erBVioIs_An_rNTjSUCfHrfvI6TYn4U6sUn_7kUi4qu0cl4SnB-9FYlCU7kk8yJdzE/s320/shen.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" />According to what info we could glean, some kittens from his litter found homes before the owners of the pedigree parents moved away from a house in Los Mateos, the next district. Shen was dumped as he was a biter. He moved himself to Santa Lucia and roamed the roofs for years before choosing to enter our house. It took several months to make friends with him. Feral kittens are much easier to domesticate than older cats like Shen. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217431112882373394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGc1LF_BigvbQhVloJvFWxl3DTqZKrmVE74I7uVVufN0ONXdsqFniR7y3YjwklZzqbeB0oAyGWeOBK9PTKxm90pzekASY5MKIJmR1CJ3MeLhLnn7czMZXsvkmLJwbzRmuAZuN3sVkG9hI/s320/IMGP0190.JPG" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />
Our only failed rescue was a kitten whose mother was shot soon after she had given birth. Ourselves and a couple of other people tried to hand feed the kittens in the few days afterwards. But all died one by one. RIP Torrente. We buried him on the Sierra Minera by Mao Ying, a friend of Jet, who died from panleukopaenia, we think, the year before. We are building a little cairn of stones over them, adding to it each time we visit the area. Bollux (a visiting feral) and Shen now have their own piles alongside.<br />
<br />
We also have David (found by the bins) , El Gran Wyoming, Pedo de Lobo, Leopold and Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes got his paws under the table by impersonating a kitten.. Didn´t find out he was older until the vet looked at his teeth. Chuck Norris is the youngest at nearly 2.<br />

We wanted to find a home for him but the son pointed out he doesn´t take up much room as he sits on other cats. Here he is on Jet. We have told him he can keep Pedo as long as he tells the next person who turns up with a starving moggy to eff off. We call Pedo Pedro if anyone polite is around.<br />

And here he is in a rare bonding moment with his son on a temporary ice rink.<br />

I have begged him never to do it again!<br />
<br />
Occasionally we travel with him to tournaments but more often we engage in other activities. After moving to Spain I developed new hobbies. I love Kyokushin, the toughest form of karate. We went for 3 courses in Barcelona. Here´s a picture of some members of my class there. I am far left bottom row, followed by Begoña, Nerea, Federico. Our teacher, Antonio Celdran, is in the middle. The rest of the row are Eneko, Alexander (my son), Luis and Achmed. The course tutors are in the back row. People in the Martial Arts have a great sense of humour - one of the things I like about this hobby. The course usually ends with us going into the freezing sea in our karate gear. When we have dried off and warmed up there´s an evening of drinking and dirty joke telling...<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5170166524459104834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxYXZxuBhgoqSjB2ku08cM_Ek_I5ha1iOFVPWgL1ecOp8RnA2koaiIPCxFrNL7I0qZj-fUvrseksOdF98fgiQwp5w6RlzC2nNDwsuZOigifW1FGy_Dug00R97wsqvU3F-PM3V2kNfDM6Q/s320/santasusanna.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />
When I first started the class about half its members were Russian or Lithuanian. There are many Eastern Europeans in Torrevieja. Now the class is predominantly Spanish. Mixing with Eastern Europeans in karate and the chess world has left me speaking Spanish with a Russian accent! My strange accent is proving very hard to lose but at least it is a good talking point! Our son speaks Spanish like a native thanks to several years in state schools. He can drop in and out of the Murcian accent as three years of his schooling was in the Alicante region. Murcians tend to drop s and d almost completely.<br />
Alexander had to play a clown called Zanahorio in the school play, El Planeta de la Sonrisa, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am beginning to wonder if he will be a comic when he grows up. He now has many hours´ worth of mucky Spanish jokes on tap that he tells on mineral excursions and the annual karate course. Here he is in the play:<br />

He competed in karate tournaments in Barcelona occasionally. Here´s a picture of him winning one. He´s holding the cup.<br />

I am now brown belt. I had twenty fights as well as hours of combinations, katas, press-ups, etc. for the last exam.<br />
<br />
Another hobby I acquired in Spain is rock-collecting. We started visiting the Sierra Minera by bus at weekends while we lived in Playa Flamenca. Eventually we moved to the area and I am slowly writing a book on it. The history of the mines dates back to the times when the Iberian tribes were trading with visiting Phoenicians.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of a trip we took to the barite mines of nearby El Gorguel with friends from a local mineral collectors´society. We are towards the right side wearing yellow helmets.<br />

In May 2009 we went again. The aragonite is running low but it was still a good trip.<br />

We man a swaps stall at the huge mineral fair in La Union over Easter.<br />

We lunch in a nearby hotel with many mineral dealers from all over Spain and meet some fascinating people. My son gets on particularly well with the son of a meteor and meteorite specialist from Leon. Interesting family with an unusual line of work!<br />

In May 2008 we went to the Fuentes de Ebro near Zaragoza to search for selenite in the alabaster quarries. Alabaster is very hard and we hammered our hands a lot. The trick to finding selenite is hammering a lump or bump off an alabaster boulder and hoping for a geode with crystals inside.<br />

My son managed to win an essay prize with a piece about it. When the weather is hot our excursions are closer to home. We have an annual ritual of going to Maria Dolores in Llano del Beal in August and eating Haagen Dazs ice cream inside. The ice cream stays rock hard it is so cold and we have to wear jackets. It´s a straight tunnel that runs for at least half a kilometre into the hillside. There are several branches leading off the tunnel. One of the first has aragonite walls.<br />

One of the oddities on my to do list was to play a minera (traditional Flamenco mining song) in a mine. We did this on our last visit. Here´s the son holding my ipod and his speakers while we play a few songs at the end of the Maria Dolores tunnel.<br />

Last year we went to the Los Serranos quarries in Albatera with our group and came back with plenty of pistacite.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253976130648607810" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhcQtCjjQFz0w04nylp0SvtGmK8iKmWzdUxSbQWGvOrCNOqZm5ftKhvkVBdxgY5ndrSNQ9cn93qMh8OOtSdHf_5j0yE3U2PNSHLMzJQ8vilug_sCDhtqzU13gXgVrp1eg6wQmOlJ8ItQM/s320/losserranos1.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />

We also had a wonderful trip to Navajun in the Rioja province for pyrites. It was a unique experience - fabulous local food as well as the minerals.<br />
<br />
Hill-walking is a hobby that runs alongside mineral collecting. One of my favourite areas is the highest part of the Sierra Minera, known as Sancti Spiritu. I mine opal there. Here is a photo of some of the wind generators above the San Valentin quarry.<br />
<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5169866765806614930" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWdcZ3xSIn3TB-aiESiiGvukjEYNljWDaBkjiikgunMomgGjPtCi4a6Z9aUUeIVTV0VDWjAzfObi2QTba_6EZmQLn7aA04QPR3qfYgom8AlX6O3of2Tn6ymJ26XK1EIeE6MiPNV-Tkynk/s320/sanvalentin.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />
.<br />
An interesting shorter walk can be had up a hill known as Cabeza Rajao. This was one of the earliest mined areas and has a volcanic crater and interesting industrial architecture. I have taken many photos of the old mining architecture and machinery there and elsewhere on the Sierra Minera. I am putting together a separate blog including many of these.<br />

<br />
Another favourite walk is the road that runs over the Sierra Minera between Llano del Beal and Portman. For the first couple of kilometres there are interesting mining remains. The road goes through a section of the Calblanque Park which is a nature reserve. It is used at weekends by mountain bikers, occasional walkers and riders. The first two and a half kilometres is steadily uphill. The horses we saw were totally bathed in sweat by the time they reached the summit which has wonderful views.<br />

I also enjoy the flora and fauna of the area. We eat fungi and figs when these are in season. The figs of the Sierra Minera are renowned for their sweetness. When they are ripe there´s a noticeable increase in the size of the local pigeons. The local prickly pears are also pretty good. There are many unusual birds to be seen and scores of lizards like this pair I spotted near La Union.<br />

From May to October I enjoy snorkelling off Cala Cortina, our nearest beach. Most of our neighbours in the Santa Lucia part of Cartagena are Spanish fishing families. We also fish a little in the local harbours. Nothing tastes better than Cartagena cuttlefish seethed in olive oil with garlic and parsley. Well, maybe octopus freshly caught and cooked a la Gallego...We have also learned some very interesting and colorful language from the other fishers. We greet old friends at the harbour. I particularly like the guy who brings 24-year-old Jumilla wine down and passes the bottle round...<br />

Cala Cortina has both deep and shallow waters and natural reefs. There´s a wonderful array of different fishes. Last year we followed a torpedo ray around, occasionally moving it on with our flippers, unaware it could have given us a shock. <br />
Once a year one of the local diving schools, Hesperides, gives free lessons in a pool outside the sports store Decathlon. My son loves this. He is longing to take a PADI course but cannot legally in our region of Spain until he is 18.<br />

<br />
Cartagena is a wonderful city for free or cheap culture. In our barrio of Santa Lucia there are free Flamenco concerts in the summer. Chano Lobato was the opening performer in 2007. He was 80 years old but still an amazing singer. RIP Chano Lobato. 2008 we saw Capullo de Jerez and 2009 Parrita. They were all wonderful singers. I now have quite a few of their CDs. The first and biggest concert is always held in the fishmarket. The smaller events take place in a little square opposite El Pinacho Bar. You can savour a one euro bottle of beer and a freshly barbecued pork roll while listening to some fabulous singers. The concert usually finishes with the singer stepping forward in front of the mike and singing unaccompanied. These artists have an amazing volume that carries for many hundred metres and a subtlety and tunefulness that would put many classical singers to shame. They are usually accompanied by the superb La Unión guitarist, Antonio Muñoz Fernandez who is from a dynasty of Flamenco singers and musicians. My son now goes to school and is friends with his cousin who plays guitar and cajon. He is giving my son some tips on the right fingering for playing a cajon. The minute a teacher leaves the room they start practicing on their bellies or on the desks.<br />
June also brings one of my least favourite fiestas - San Juan. My son loves it though. All the local kids buy large quantities of explosives and light bonfires around the city. Many years ago, a guy in his eighties told me, they used to burn an image of Juan and Juana on the bonfire. These days it´s all unwanted furniture and building pallets. Many illegal firework shops open up around the town -women selling boxes of fireworks from their front rooms for a little pin money. The police don´t close them down because their children would complain. Some of the fireworks have good names like "abejas borrachas" - drunken bees. Some are just extremely loud. It´s an unnerving sight seeing all the local toddlers on the streets at midnight armed with cigarette lighters and bangers that look like sticks of dynamite...Miraculously they avoid injury but the fire brigade has a very busy time putting out fires on local scrubland throughout the night and the next day. Here was our nearest bonfire: <br />

In June there is the Cartagena en Clave festival followed by the Mar de Musica festival in July. Alongside the more expensive events are also a few free ones. Here is a group of dervishes from Cairo. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220634491984824434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6AoM0o_MG_az6xAYx4bWZa_MHntnsZdYHQY2IdHQLhuKV2aOQEh_ab4MStti36RZ_j776Kb3TfXP0zvAh6uT-0ZXdALPduv69agWyeB1hb58VIWcPql2hyFQfz34OE7osv3ENAVBUDYE/s320/IMGP0247+%282%29.JPG" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />
<br />
This year there were some wondferul free concerts by Chiwoniso and others. We also went to see Rokia Traore and Oumou Sangare - both fabulous singers from Mali. At the beginning of August there is the Teatro del Mar festival. Comedians from all over Europe are invited. Paul Morocco from the UK was one of the funniest. We also enjoyed Ukrainian clowns, Spanish theatre and a Belgian mime. In 2008 I loved Ennio Marchetto and Sit by Clownic (3 Catalan clowns). In 2009 The Familie Floz was definitely the finest show. It may well have been the best theatre I have ever seen. The problem is that one or two shows cross with the start of the Cante de las Minas festival in La Union and concerts in Santa Lucia. I always like to watch the final concert in La Union where the finalists compete for large money awards and the Miner´s lamp, a prestigious accolade in Flamenco terms. It´s a big event that starts at 10.30 and goes on till about 4 in the morning. I particularly love the sad Minera songs about life in the mines. Cartageneras are also a similar sung and poetic form from the area. A local shop called Carrots runs a terribly tempting stall outside with rare Flamenco CDs. Other stalls are run by friends from the mineral world. My son always manages to cull some free samples. A friend called Mariano Miranda makes models of mining machinery that he sells there. He uses blacksmith´s skills to make exquisite small-scale replicas of wheels, carts, etc. The carts are filled with mini pyrites collected from a local mine. When my cats are older and less frisky I shall buy some of these. At the moment they break any ornament I am unwise enough to leave out.<br />
In September, Cartagena is over-run with five thousand citizens dressed as either Carthaginians or Romans for a couple of weeks. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177312585164136242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf___xqs86uRHDmV_lx9j2XJpfPvPZUbHXxNA3_6dNFSfeeDZitRpSyURCl1ZBI4HGh95dC_l9FZyOge9RtRFNLgCkDLx2audjx8dqO0StdxC_U5t1X4XgPmwGJo3u6QrWZMZ4HBuZgzo/s320/cartroman.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /><br />

The whole city looks like a scene from one of the Asterix and Obelix films. There are some spectacular firework displays.<br />

<br />
Our favourite event is the mock Senate meeting as this is extremely witty. The actors use an up-to-date script with loads of jokes about local and national politics. That´s one event I shall attend every year. I also like the final carnival. If you get a strategically placed seat at a point where the procession has to turn a corner you can get an amazing amount of loot - free T-shirts and sweets are thrown and certain legions pass out free liqueurs. Amstel sponsors the event so there are usually some free beers at various events. Sometimes there´s a free sardinefest or a giant paella. The best trick is to get there very early and chum up with the person next to you in the queue so that you can fetch each other free beers while saving a place.<br />

<br />
Some of the other barrios have their own festivals. Santa Lucia is quiet by comparison with nearby Los Mateos which is filled with party animals. My son enjoyed their celebrations which included a foam disco for kids that went on to two in the morning. Other events included chasing a greased pig or climbing a lubricated lamp-post after a Serrano ham. Not to mention loads of music and bingo. There are several houses for sale in the square where all this goes on. Wonder why... After attending some of these events last year we were too pooped out to go to the free all-night meatfest. We heard on the grapevine that 200 people had managed to down 300 kilos of sausages, chops, etc. off the barbecue then finished with a breakfast of churros (deep fried sugary doughnut strips) dipped in chocolate. I don´t think we yet have Spanish stamina... In 2008 the final coincided with the last concert of the Cante de Las Minas, meaning that we were able to have a supper of longanizas and panchetta on the way home at about 3 in the morning!<br />
<br />
Cartagena puts on a short festival of concerts in historic buildings. We heard Cecilia Berganza (daughter of Teresa) in an old palace owned by a bank and Beethoven in the Fuerte de Navidad, an ancient fortification with canons. That last concert was reached by boat which added to the experience. More recently we heard a Murcian group, <strong>L'Incontro Fortunato</strong>, playing Mozart and Haydn on old instruments.

My son wanted their autographs after the concert and managed to blag his way into going to dinner with them and ten of their Spanish fans. We all ended up eating a lovely array of tapas in La Tartana near Calle Mayor. They are charming guys as well as great singers. An unforgettable night.<br />
<br />
Two of the Spanish men we met that night were in the orchestra of a group called <strong>La Lyra Hispana</strong>. We saw that company´s production. <strong>Duelo de Divas</strong> on the 26th March. The early music world is a small one in Murcia. I suspect we will keep bumping into the same people at concerts across the year. It´s a clever show about two divas at war with each other. It´s put together from several different Handel operas. It would be a wonderful introduction to the world of opera for any child as it´s funny and good to look at. My son was rivetted.<br />

The November Jazz festival is another must. I only started going in 2009. <br />
As my Spanish gets better I have also learned to enjoy stand-up comedy. We saw a marvellous series of stand-up comics from all parts of Spain in a small bar called Yo Que Se in the village of Alumbres. Spanish comics are generally ruder and more over the top than Billy Connolly. As with many of the concerts in Cartagena these evenings were free. Bar-owners and the city officials have a wonderful talent for getting their events sponsored by banks and TV. There is also an annual show by comics from Paramount Comedy in Teatro Circo every year. This is an event you pay for but the theatre was packed. I have never seen it so full for classic theatre or music.<br />
<br />
A recent addition to the festivals of Cartagena has been the "Ruta de tapas".<a href="http://tapasroute2010.blogspot.com/">http://tapasroute2010.blogspot.com/</a><br />
The nicest thing about the tapas trail was that it took us into many new restaurants we had never visited. I have put together a blog on the subject of Cartagena restaurants;<br />

I started visiting Cartagena in 2002 and it has steadily improved. There´s an impressive array of museums and some charming Art Nouveau architecture to contrast the Roman and Punic remains. An architect called Victor Beltri did most of his best work in the city. His buildings can be seen on this page:<br />

I have also started a blog on the city´s architecture. More photos will be forthcoming in the near future.<br />

I once went skiing with my son. I am about as bad at skiing as it is possible to be, my son took to it like a duck to water. Here we are with some of our group - members of a diving club in Cartagena! Even though I am probably the world´s worst skier I had fun as they were a good group of people. <br />

Son went skiing with his father this year but they forgot to take pictures. <br />
In March I took a course in the local modern art museum on the influence of Barcelona on Cartagena in the Modernist Movement. I have always liked the Modernist Architecture of Cartagena and now know a bit more about it. The best lecture by far was that given by Guillermo Cegarra Beltrí, the great grandson of Victor Beltrí.<br />
In April 2010 both the son and I entered the Ruta de las Fortalezas. He ran 15km - the most allowed at his age - and I walked 50km. There were 2000 walkers and runners (some though were doing it in relays of 5). Only 1350 finished. A few hundred of these were miltary personnel. My time was terrrible - 12 hours 13 minutes - I managed to come last. It was a fascinating experience but a painful one. The views of the fortifications were stunning and the Spanish Infantry provided a great atmosphere of camaraderie. The first 30kms was easy enough but the rocky route up to Castillo de Atalaya was chosen and I had no walking pole. I completed the rest, including the ascent of Roldán, on willpower alone. Couldn´t have done it without the encouragement of the soldiers.<br />

The next year they changed the route to 51 kms and 5 mountains because some bastard said it was too easy. In 2011 and 2012 I was disqualified at about the 10 hour mark as you have to get to the foot of the last mountain at a specific time. One year I migh make it again!<br />
