\nSunday afternoon my wife and I played padel against another couple. Afterwards we had a beer with our opponents at the bar in the fitness center where we play. Their two little girls (9 and 6 years old) had come along:

\nThe Girl with the Blue Tongue (sounds like the title of a Larsson novel):

<\/p>\n
\nLater that afternoon, we went to have lunch at Mare Nostrum, a decidedly low-brow all-you-can-eat restaurant on the beach. You pay \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c2\u00ac10 to get in, beers and soft drinks are \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u0161\u00c2\u00ac1.50, and you just serve yourself. The variety and quality of the food is quite good, especially the paellas. This is the “please wait here” sign at the entrance:

\nStill later in the afternoon, a couple of hundred metres down the beach promenade, Darren and his friends were performing at the Game Caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9:

<\/p>\n
\nA devoted groupie (actually, Iris is the wife of the guitarist and plays the keyboards and sings) tapes the performance with her new iPad:

<\/p>\n
\nMusic is a small part of the attraction of going to the Game Caf\u00c3\u0192\u00c2\u00a9. Just as important is the life outside:

\nA man watches football outside a bar on Avenida Vicente Ramos, where I walk my dog every day:

\nA rare foggy morning:

\nA couple walks down the street in the barrio<\/em>:

\nI really like the current trend of allowing people to paint the glass recycling containers:

\nThis one is bilingual, too:

\nFriday evening we crashed a party–a new restaurant was having its opening night party, and we just happened to walk by. Free food and wine is always a good thing:

\nA work of art or a piece of kitsch, take your pick. This is at our local Carrefour supermarket:
