Village on the Mountain

   I was introduced to some free day excursions in Spain called Blanket tours. They are apparently quite popular with all the British ex-pats living in Spain so I decided to check them out. They offer a full day excursion to a desired destination, including snacks and drinks. Now, I know what you are thinking. Whats the catch? Well, thats where the "blanket" part comes in. They are offered by bedding companies to demonstrate their products in order to sell more to the gullible ex-pats who think the special bedding will help cure all their aches and pains. We spent about an hour or two at the factory getting a demonstration before we started the actual tour. Considering the trip was free in a full comfort coach for the day I thought it was more then a fair trade. I had a great time and the demonstration was actually quite interesting.

  I took the trip to Guadalest for the day. Its a scenic little mountain village with a castle and great views of the lake down below. I took a ton of photos because the views were just spectacular!
