U is for unoccupied






I took the train on Monday to go into the city. For one, lunch plans with Mr Mar were made and I also wanted to window shop and take pictures of the Christmas decorations. But the crowd I encountered was no fun at all, we were lucky the restaurant of our choice was a quiet spot, although located next to two main avenues.  I also liked the minimalist Christmas decorations...We sat indoors while the 18ºC / 65ºF weather would have been inviting for any other European! we are spoiled like that. The terrace had lovely walls covered by ivory bands.

    Hi Mar, I have some friends who want to visit Spain for Christmas, together with their 17 year old daughter. Could you recomend a hotel? They need to be somewhere active as their daughter likes fun. Could you give me a few hints/suggestions if you have any?

    Thanks
    Denise

    That looks so simple and therefore so beautiful. Here the crowds are rather limited, people prefer malls as it is still raining since 3 weeks, sigh !
