Mónica and I enjoyed the long weekend, although it went by very fast. Time runs fast when you're having a good time.
We had a nice 5 kilometer (3 mile) walk along the shore of Santa Maria del Mar and went to see some more of the Easter processions. We went to visit the sanctuary Covadonga, a very nice place with many souvenir shops. And on Saturday we went shopping. On Sunday afternoon I went reinstalling Mónica's father's computer.
If you clicked on one of the links, you already noticed that I uploaded most of my pictures to my Pbase galleries. They can be accessed as well by clicking on the camera button in the left column of this website.
Yesterday evening I bought myself a new digital camera. So I hope to be adding many new pictures soon. I'm not a photographer as profesional as Tine, but I enjoy making pictures. And sometimes I get lucky and they turn out rather well.

Very nice pictures indeed! Hey, uhm, Covadonga, isn't that the place where this battle found place (in like the 11th century)? I remember the name from my Spanish history class... It looks really cool there!
You are right, Lien! A battle fought in Covadonga between 718 and 725 was the first victory of the Christians over the Moors. It had great symbolic significance in the Christian reconquest of Spain. The legend says that a cave near Covadonga was the refuge of King Pelayo. The cave's chapel dates from the 8th cent.
