What do the spanish do?...Part deux
















This afternoon, strolling under the sun, Mark and I took in the World Hortiocultural Expo, a Eden Project type affair on the edge of town. Each nation of the world had been invited to participate by planting a garden typical of their country, complete with typical architecture and plantlife. As we wandered through, each one impressed us more than the last - Holland with a working windmill, Germany with paths lined by beer bottles (strange and apt), Britain with a walled garden and wooden summer house. Until - surprise, surprise - we stumbled over Spain's dedicated area: a concrete and corrugated plastic building, faded paint, doors secured by a bike lock, not a plant in sight and no garden.

What do the Spanish do?

Enjoy the photos, ttfn,
