January away...


Coffee and juice at home...


Then, to nearby Tejeringos for churros and chocolate...

Delicious...


Then, to the Thyssen Gallery...


For a journey through, mostly, Spanish art up until the early 20th Century...









This seascape was my favourite...




Just pipping this delightfully realistic portrayal of trees and sheep...










Jesus was a hit too...








These too were faves for me...










And the runners up...
















To the gift shop...

These cups enticed but were just too expensive...


I need to, perhaps, own this book...


Instead I partook of a guide to the museum, in Spanish...

Refreshment near the market followed...


Then, into said market...












Why don't we have markets like this in Scotchland?

Lunch - seafood paella...


...and various fried fish etc...


Hmmm - tasty but a wee bit weird...

Some walking...


Spotting our wee raggedy chum from yesterday...


Through a tunnel and to the port again...



...and the beach with various goings on...












...and sea cats...




This white one...


..and it's chum, were unsuccessfully stalking a rather large seagull perched atop a pole...





Soon we were watching the antics of around ten cats...



...including this old bruiser who seemed to be the king of the pack...



These ears tell a story or two...


Back into town for tea - drinks at our fave bar then next door for a tasty pizza...





...followed by a constitutional around the town...



Carnival starts the day after we leave...










Home...


...for another noisy night of unwanted Spanish chat in the streets...

Today's artwork, "First View of Riva's Seascape"...


Highlight of the Day : Everything really...
