Orange Blossomers

Well hello! You may (or may not) have noticed how quiet I've been recently? No updates, no info, no events. The reason for this is facebook 'community standards'. I seems that racism, misogyny, incitement to hatred, homophobia and false advertising are perfectly acceptable but you're playing with fire if you choose to employ every day, colloquial English because it upsets the american AI bots. I got a months ban for soliciting donations to the Movember Foundation. My crime? Using an expression of enthusiasm very similar to 'eyed ripe yore arum of four tat'.

The first weekend in November looks to be very busy:-

26/09/2023

The Pen*scola Plaza Hotel is hosting its own Oktoberfest on 20 & 21/10/23 and the Fira del Vino on 1 & 2/12/23. I don't know the exact details yet but last year's Fira was an evening event where you bought a ticket and were given a commemorative glass and were let loose to sample up to sixty classic wines and accompanying food. More details to follow.

I'm picking up at Castellon at 16:45 on 04/03/23. Does anyone need a lift to Pen*scola?

I went to the fuel station today to get three butane cylinders but was told I could only have two. Does anyone know why?

I came past the new Family Cash on the N340A last night and it was heaving. It's finally open. I wasn't holding my breath on this one as it was supposed to open last year or was it the year before? One attraction seems to be cheap fuel as they are undercutting Bon Area. I might well go and have a look today.

Forthcoming events:-

Papa Luna Dive Club in Pen*scola 22/10/22 @11:00 meeting at the clubhouse (the orange building at the front of the carpark where the market is held) to talk about the trip to Barra Alta, which looks like being postponed to March 2023 and the ongoing problems with the compressor.

On 28, 29 & 30/10/22 there are two events. We have the Badum Brewery Oktoberfest in Pen*scola whilst at Alcaniz there's the Classic Festival of Motoring. I've not been to the previous Oktoberfest but it sounds interesting. The CFM event at Alcaniz was brilliant in 2019 and it's free to get in. If you've got a classic vehicle you can display it near the grandstand.

On 05 & 06/11/22 we have Enduro Sant Mateu, a two day, off road, motorcycling event.

We had a lovely flight from Castellon to Stansted yesterday. They've finally sorted the wifi at Castellon Airport. You sign into aeroporto-clientes and use the password 'clientes'. Then we arrived in England to join the queue for the cattle market.

This static park home was purchased new by a friend of mine in 2007. The original cost was €58,000. The asking price now is €15,000 but offers will be considered. It's situated in a holiday park close to the sea in Pen*scola. On site there is a bar and restaurant, a pool and occasional entertainment in the summer. The yearly service charge is around €2,500 depending on which option you choose. It has two bedrooms, one ensuite, and a lounge/diner/kitchen area. It also has a balcony facing the sea. It can be viewed by appointment and overnight stays are possible. For more details phone Jef on 0044 7443 373 374 or 0034 711 001586.
