Didn’t realise there’s an actual building. I thought it was all filmed in the studio/theatre.

I have been scores of times, happy to have a chat. Add Cordoba and Cadiz , both really worth it for starters. I know a good hassle free car hire company too.

What are these sounds you speak of?
 
Planning a week in Rhodes (Lindos) in May with wife, daughter, her partner and our grandson. Last two holidays have been in winter so will be a change.

Great place, my brother was married there and we had a wonderful week. My brother goes to Pefkos next door to Lindos as Lindos has gotten a bit expensive.

Aye we’ve been a few times. Daughter hoping to get married there (when her old man can afford it).

For the burglars on the bounce, I am off to Puerto Del Carmen in March, @Doc Shrink and @PILTONSTANY put me on to it, I love it now.

Back to Bali for most of June. I have lots of links with Indonesia and just love it there.

Currently enjoying a bit of scran at Lomo Alto.
Very hot during the day, but a wee bit nippy at night.
The very opposite of Mrs Shrink 😍

They are just fab places imo. Mr 1875 knows the place inside out and to a much greater degree but im pretty confident he will recommend these places also.

iirc ronda has the 2nd oldest bullring in the world and Orson Welles sat in the crowd and watched one (quick google has him living in Seville in 1933 and travelling around the place attending bullfights where his fav matadors were starring). Useless nonsense but i was into it in 1999. If you type ronda in the picture which comes on is the bridge which separate the old town and the new town way high up the valley, and apparently, francos fascists threw their communist/socialist enemies of it.


Loads o white towns in the hills and there is a place where the Black Douglas' heart in entombed after he died fighting the moors. Wee church ruins I think, stone tablet with description somewhere, bit boring probs.

I mind really liking granada, but I cant remember why! I could be something as classless as we scored very good chocola (hashish) 🤭 .

In the generalife of the Alhambra, my self and a mate, lying back on the stone seats with the clearest blue sky with that wonderful October Andalusian sun beating down, with the rustle of the water flowing down the wee gullies, each puffing a fat bifter in silence is one of my most happiest memories. Others visiting that magical place no giving a toss about it and going about there business, like they always see two Scottish dafties toking away!

Lastly Seville has a belter of a cathedral, and opposite was atraditional spanish hat shop and there was the most beautiful green cordobes large brim hat, made of some sort of animal hair. Think was in that toon about a week all in and i coudnt tell you how often i passed that shop and just dreamt about me and that and my backpack, but it was high quality and pricey as fuck.

I havent relly been to that many different places, and no even out of Europe, so no much to compare it to, but I loved every minute of Andalusia.

I was going to reply the same then I got suspicious and thought it might have been a trap 🤣🤣
 
Aye? You a bit 'wasted' 🤣

I'm no a holidays person EG. I prefer a long weekend away for a guzzle.

I'm also no a sun lover. I don't mind it at tea time when it's nice and a bit cooler.

A wee couple of days in London or Salford visiting pals is my preferred thang.

Although this Hibees 150 anniversary over the water sounds good.

You going to be going if there's an event on?
 
When in New York there were three places our mate took us that I was made up to see.

The site where CBGB's was. The Chelsea Hotel.

And 'up to Lexington 125' where the barmaid told us four stupid white fuckers to get on the tube and fuck off before we got shot 🤣🤣
 
Hoping to visit the beaches in Normandy , Utah, Omaha, Juno, Sword and Gold. Something I’ve been wanting to do for years.
Other than that I have a brother who lives out in Dubai , so we visit him every year in late October , early November. A blingy false city , so we normally grab a hotel deal in Ras Al Khaimah, the weather is fantastic at that time of year.

I went to Lindos to escape Faliraki. I would had stayed there, but I had to go back. Hated every second I was there, but Lindos was completely different. Some acropolis worth seeing. Enjoy!

Really want to be back there right now!
Best 3 weeks holiday I’ve ever had, amazing people and stunningly beautiful.
Was made even better by your pages and pages of tips which were greatly taken up on, eaten and visited 💚

The hottest I’ve ever been in a ma puff was at the Alhambra. I volunteered to fetch water for some folk who were struggling but the shop was at the bottom of a big hill, at least as I recall. Bad on the way down, but going back up with shopping bags full of two litre bottles of water… feck me, my head was swimming and I was seeing funny. I was a young gun then, I think these days I’d not have been able to do it.
