A blog about Spain; its culture, gastronomy and people. Basically I write about my experiences in Spain and try to share the best of this magnificent and varied country with those who have an interest in all things Spanish. Anything from recipes,fiestas,photos,birds of prey,walks,wine,bodegas, meals,mountains and .visits to new places. My name is Paddy Waller and I have lived in Spain for more than 20 years and am married to Julia who is Spanish. I hope you enjoy the blog. Disfruta!

Hi Laura, Thanks for the comments. My camera is a Canon EOS Digital 450D and I use two different lens , a 18-50mm and a 55-250mm.This year I didnt see the Fallas getting burnt but I have seen them many many times over the last 30 years! Have you seen them getting burnt?Well worth it ...an experience to remember!
