Am I a Tourist?
Am I a Tourist? Dear Andy Like many a letter writer I am not sure where to start. Anyway here goes. I used to come to Spain for over 20 years for my summer holidays and sometimes at Christmas and Easter time with my wife and children when they were all younger. About ten years ago we decided to move more permanently to Spain where I now spend most of my time. Recently my wife and a couple of friends made a statement that I never go on holiday. Of course I have always been of the mind set that being in Spain was a holiday and I can remember years ago some guy asking me where I was going on holidays that particular year, Miami, California, the Middle east? I can clearly remember telling him that I had saved most of my working life so that I could settle in Spain and although I have been to many places throughout the World over the years I now live in Spain and do not want to go to other places as in my opinion Spain has as much as I can handle from a Cultural and Sporting po...

(7 x 9.5 in) on 300gm (140 lb) cold pressed acid free paper. “So, what are you doin´ for Paddy´s Day in Fuengirola? “Agh, the usual routine on St Patrick´s Day, Mass, J.Bs, El Castillo for Richies Dublin Coddle”. Guaranteed no shortage of chat, craic, singin´ and drink! I always thought that Saint Patrick was all to do with Drink, a day off school and work, pubs closed and a dog show in the RDS in Dublin. But NO! I checked it out on the net & and lo and behold: It is unclear exactly where Patricius Magonus Sucatus (Patrick) was born–somewhere in the west between the mouth of the Severn and the Clyde–but this most popular Irish saint was probably born in Scotland of British origin, perhaps in a village called Bannavem Taberniae.
