• A haircut ... not

    2 Februari 2024, Spanyol ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    I decided it's time for a haircut, so asked at reception at the campsite. Kind lady WhatsApp-ed her hairdresser and made an appointment for me today at 11.30. At €10 for a wash and cut (I wasn't sure if it included blow dry), I decided to give it a go. We allowed an hour for a 30 minute walk, so also smooched around some bazaars and then took a 'before' photo and I went in. John strolled off to the harbour.
    The bloke wasn't expecting me but asked 'Ingles' I said yes, campsite Giralda, reservation. He seemed to know about it but showed me his diary was fully booked. He offered me tomorrow but I decided to leave it. So then I had to try and find John and surprisingly, I did!
    So a coffee a tea (and a cream horn for John) beckoned instead, and an 'after' shot, which looks surprisingly better. €10 saved 😀. Only cost €4.80 for 2 drinks and a cake.
    Wandering around the town we discovered lots of new places. E.g. a shopping street, though they're rather different to our shops both in style and content.
    I really enjoyed going around some of the cheap bazaar type shops and we bought a few things including a tea-strainer, a clothesline and bead stuff for me to play with.
    Tourist information had a display about the fishing industry here and we've finally discovered what the clay pots are for. They're for catching an octopus.
    The other good part was the carnival display .... it's almost as if we'd been there at the parade we missed! 😉
    Bizarrely, all the manikins were black, and the one with the black wig was pretty scary.
    More pics of these and an evening walk next.
    On our way home we unwisely chose a Lidl to buy food. Not an interesting shop to us. Possibly worse in Spain than the UK.
