Our trip included staying and viewing areas of the north between San Sebastian, Pamplona, Bilbao, Picos de Europa, Burgos and Toledo. After an early and punctual start and a few comfort stops we spent a couple of hours in Teruel near the Plaza and market, enjoying lunch. Our driver Paco, was very helpful and must have been pleased to finish the day at Andia Hotel, just a few minutes from Pamplona Central. Our evening meal was later than planned but we had all been in the coach for ten and a half hours so retired early. The first morning, bags…

A superb day out Our happy band of sophisticated travellers and wine lovers enjoyed a marvellous day out to the bodega of the Familia Castaño in Yecla. The bodega and the vineyards are about 100 kilometres from Murcia, high up in stony, chalk soil, ideal for the cultivation of world-class Monastrell wine. We were treated to a tour of the vineyards by our guide, Raquel, who explained the differing methods of cultivation for each variety of grape and how each is adapted to the climatic conditions. Thereby properly educated, we bussed back to the bodega in town where we were…

U3A are looking for a new Group Leader for this Group
On Sundays from 2pm-4pm for the winter period and 3-5pm in the summer, approaching the far end of the Paseo Maritimo past the Esmeralda Hotel, in the shade of eucalyptus trees, you might come across a group playing boules on the public courts. We still need more players. Nothing to pay and a good afternoon of fun. They also arouse interest of curious passers-by, who stop to watch, and sometimes give advice. It’s just the U3A Petanca group in action on the public pitches. They turn up, from 4 to 24 people at a time (there is no set group). Taking…

The Men’s Dining Group has now been running for a few years. We meet on the last Thursday of every month for dinner in a Calpe restaurant, though occasionally one nearer to Moraira for members living that way. Restaurants are chosen either by recommendation of members or to try somewhere new, and we look for a set menu, including wine, to suit all tastes. We now meet monthly throughout the year even during the summer months and hope the group will continue to develop under the new leadership Group Leader The Group Leader is Clive Dean, clivedean24@yahoo.com. Place and time…
This group is not currently active. It is often said that an active and inquiring mind is one of the keys to longevity, by keeping the little grey cells from falling asleep. And what better way to ensure this than to join a discussion group? The general theme will be more of a philosophical nature concerning life and the world we live in, with you expressing your own opinion. Our next meeting will be on February 9, at 3 pm. I would like a few more members who enjoy a good chat together once a month. This month we will…
