Was the scenery spectacular – not really!
Could we find a decent place to have coffee on the way – No!
Could we find the hotel when we reach Murcia – No!
Did we arrive tired and a little cranky at Murcia at 15:00– Si
Did we discover that there are three different Avenedia Primerio Del Mayo’s in Murcia – Si
Was the hotel we were at the last one we tried – Si
Was there anything good about the day?

The company? – Si
Did we stumble into a little, almost deserted village being used as a film set – Si
Did Bernadette finally get to photograph the wild red poppies that adorn the roadside through France and much of Spain – Si
Was the hotel any good – Si – It was the best of the trip so far ….
We were determined to turn the day around so having considerable time to read up on the area on the trip down from Valencia Bernadette and Merie had decided that we simple had to head for Lo Pagan about 60 kilometres from Murcia to experience a mud bath in the lagoons beside the Mediterranean. The area is a rapidly developing holiday refuge for the inhabitants of the colder European climes. It was simply amazing to see what seemed likes thousands and thousands of really quite up-market residential accommodation.
The reality is that everywhere you look in Spain the development is extraordinary –it is difficult not to look at a skyline and see hammer-head cranes. The road system is stunning and there are wind farms everywhere. In fact the investment in infrastructure is so substantial that it constantly made me wonder about the lack of infrastructure investment in Australia over the past 15 years or so! … I wonder it is not time for Australians to stop believing its own rhetoric about it economy and get on about the future.(there end’th the lesson” )
Murcia itself is a large town of around 400,000. It was not the most attractive city that we had encountered in our trip. Having said that it did boast the best hotel of the trip, served a magnificent evening meal and may have had even a denser population of hammer head cranes than was the norm for Spain.
