Torrevieja is a working town and always a busy place. In the winter, we park our car on the outskirts and walk along the boardwalks all the way into town it is always buzzing. We sit down and have coffee and something to eat and thank our lucky stars to be living this wonderful life. What a joy to escape the cold, damp winter of home. On the other side of the coin, if and when we are at home, we equally have a wonderful life. We live in a beautiful area and enjoy a great social life there. Most of us are truly blessed. You don’t have to be rich if you are happy and enjoy good health. Just remember to make the best of your time here as we don’t know what the future holds.
Time to rise and shine!
