Well, we've done it again - caught out by a Spanish Bank Holiday. Monday is their third BH since we arrived, and we've not been here a month yet. The photo was taken at about 1330hrs on Saturday. An hour or so earlier the streets were thronged with people. Then, at one o'clock precisely all the shops shut and everyone disappeared leaving the street looking like a film set for a disaster movie where the entire population has died. So, no shops until Tuesday morning leaving us for the second time with no decent guide book to the island we're visiting. I think the UK has less Bank Holidays than any other European country - and here in Spain it shows!
