This is for assignment 11 at MatadorU… Atlantis in Ibiza is opposite the island of es Vedra. It’s notorious among the locals and those in the know as one of the spiritual cores of Ibiza. It’s toughgoing to get down there and takes about 20 minutes, if you’re a fitty, could [...]
Spent the day writing and reading around the hotel, nipped down to the local hotel for some picnic ingredients at lunch and some wine. And after a siesta we cracked open the wine and got ready for our big San Sebastian night out. It ended up being late by the [...]
Nice lie in interrupted by cleaners. We went into San Sebastian and went down to the beach, sneaking into a super posh hostel on the way to use the lavabos. Climbed on some rocks but it was a bit scary as the waves were smashing against them and it was [...]
We arrived in Madrid nice and early and very tired, it hadn’t been the comfortable ride we’d had coming down and we hadn’t been nearly as exhausted. But we made it, so after a quick venture out for a coffee and a croissant before boarding the next bus for a [...]
Back to work on our Workaway project, and more painting. We did six hours of it today as we had an hour off the other day and don’t want Isabel to think we’re skiving off. We finished the painting on the three villas and kept spotting all the mistakes we’d [...]
Thanks to a hot tip from Isabel we went to the annual Seville Feria today. Again, we had a real mission with the buses, but we finally made it. Seville is beautiful and the fair was amazing. The Feria de abril de Sevilla is a ten-day festival celebrating all things Spanish. [...]
Second day on the Workaway job in Conil, Spain, and we woke up late. Our ‘boss’ Isabel didn’t seem bothered. I think as long as we do the required five hours, she’s not really that bothered. I’m work out already: the kids camp has ruined me. I got to work [...]
We’re on our Workaway assignment and it’s the first day at work today. Me and Waiel worked to clean out this wicked little house they’d built themselves attached to the Pilates studio. It hadn’t been used for a while so it was really dusty and smelly, but good old Bob [...]
We arrived in San Fernando at 6am after an 8-hour overnight coach journey from Madrid. It wasn’t bad at all, both of us slept for most of it. We were here to do our first Workaway mission. With Isabel, a lady who wanted us to paint her villas and help [...]
Last night we met some really fun Italian girls, Alix and Marie and a Mexican guy, Arnold. We all went out together in the Gothic quarter and knocked back some tequilas. Ended up in this excellent bar with records on the walls and an uber trendy clientele, was much fun. [...]
