A quiet week, so all the photos are from my morning walks with Mochi or my bicycle rides.<\/p>\n

\nAs usual, my Sunday began with a walk to the beach with Mochi. Sunrise in mid-October is a bit after 8 a.m. (until we change back to normal time in the last weekend of the month):

\nThe sun appears over the Mediterranean:
\n\"DSF2119\"<\/p>\n

41_3<\/strong>
\nThere are almost always people sitting in the sand and waiting for sunrise:
\n\"DSF2120\"<\/p>\n

41_4<\/strong>
\nBeach “art” (I cannot decide if this is a human figure or a penis):
\n\"DSF2116\"<\/p>\n

41_5<\/strong>
\nLater in the week we got some cloudy and rainy days, although still warm enough to ride in shorts and short sleeves. Here is the guard tower in El Campello on Monday morning:

\nDuring our afternoon walks, the cats are watching us:

\nOn working days, the only way to have time to give Mochi a long walk and to do my bicycle ride before work is to start everything very early, long before sunrise:
\n\"DSF2130\"<\/p>\n

41_9<\/strong>
\nOn Saturday morning, we had more clouds and the aftermath of Friday’s rain and wind:
\n\"DSF2141\"<\/p>\n

\nMochi likes the beach wall:
\n\"DSF2136\"<\/p>\n

41_13<\/strong>
\nThe Magic Cactus likes the mix of rain and sunshine we are having right now:
\n\"DSF2142\"<\/p>\n

41_14<\/strong>
\nOn Saturday morning, Mochi and I went shopping at Madagascar, a large pet shop:
\n\"DSF2147\"<\/p>\n

\n\"DSF2153\"<\/p>\n

41_16<\/strong>
\nOn Sunday morning, I rode to Aigues. The guard tower in El Campello was decorated for the Moros y Cristianos festival:
\n\"1050072\"<\/p>\n

41_17<\/strong>
\nThe boats in the harbour. It is Sunday, so the fishing boats are also in the harbour:
\n\"1050076\"<\/p>\n

41_18<\/strong>
\nI continued to Aig\u00c3\u00bces where I happened upon a painting competition. Basically, the inhabitants of the village were encouraged to paint the various features of the place, with a jury judging to follow in the afternoon, no doubt after a generous lunch:
\n\"1050079\"<\/p>\n

41_19<\/strong>
\nA couple painting the church:
\n\"1050083\"<\/p>\n

\nThe bell tower:
\n\"1050104\"<\/p>\n

\nThere was also a workshop for children:
\n\"1050092\"<\/p>\n

41_25<\/strong>
\n\"1050093\"<\/p>\n

41_26<\/strong>
\nWhile most of the participants seemed to be women of a certain age, there were some young men too:
\n\"1050097\"<\/p>\n

41_27<\/strong>
\nThe tools:
\n\"1050099\"<\/p>\n

\nThe tools in use:
\n\"1050100\"<\/p>\n

Aig\u00c3\u00bces is a progressive little town. This is reflected in various ways: it is governed by the Socialist party, in contrast to all surrounding towns which are governed by the conservatives; it celebrates Pride Week every year; and on this day, Spain’s national day, typically celebrated with fireworks and military parades, Aig\u00c3\u00bces instead held a painting competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
