Mojácar celebrates the three day Moors and Christians festival from Friday June 6th which is the major local event of the early summer. Noise, booze, music and colour triumphant.
This month, Angel talks about sex and Lenox smashes a wasp. JAFO follows Obama's fortunes and Peter follows those of Zapatero and Rajoy. Charlie introduces us to a film goddess, Tom works on his animal noises, Gwyneth goes boozing in London and Jocelyne throws out the trash. Kovaks gets scammed, Hugh finds some good and bad news and Sergio mans the barricades.
Our picture this month was painted by Pepe Obradors, an engineer at the Villaricos desalination plant. Pepe is also a portrait artist and you can see his work on http://pepeobradors.blogspot.com. We ran another picture of Mojácar in February by an artist called Nicolas Carillo Murcia: the first painting of the town on record (1902). The old place has hardly changed a bit in the past hundred years, except for a dab of white paint and a few places to get a good gin and tonic and a bun.
