Time to get a hat

Garrucha market, with the aim of getting a sunhat, was the morning’s focus. Mission accomplished ... though not until we had walked the length of two of the long streets full of stalls selling fruit, veg, CDs, clothes (including those fluorescent orange, pink and lime green bras that seem so popular), handbags, belts etc.  ... we headed for an internet café. The first one was completely unstaffed and unoccupied and we eventually worked out it was an internet gaming place but we found another and worked our way through emails for an hour, then coffee on the sea front and back to lunch and a swim in the pool. We’d also found so good fruit and veg in the market including lovely young habas (broad beans) for €1/kg.
We’d hoped to be able to take our food and luggage over to the villa in Turre in the evening but Fran, the caretaker was working so we just checked out where it was and, when he hadn’t rung us by 9pm gave up.
