h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

4 weeks tomorrow

I've been trawling the website http://www.andalucia.org/turismo-cultural/ and I can't wait

Gordon has been before (he has friends who live there) and he is looking forward to showing me the places he loves

Just adding the tip from Gnomon: 'Money, Tickets, Passport' and a friend on Facebook has told me to start taking Vit B supplements as mozzies don't like the taste, apparently...

I notice that website spells the name both with an s and with a c: andalucia vs andalusia. Is it Spanish vs English?

Spanish spelling is: Andalucía

It originates from the Arabic - so as far as English is concerned, it's a transliteration (like Chaikovsky/Tchaikovsky). The Spanish is probably standardised.

it used to be danish of course

Who's a lucky girl then Mozzies, oh, don't fancy those, we have enough here at the moment.

it looks beautiful. You will have some tales to tell when you come back

I know I've been away; but where did I miss the info before post 1 on this thread. The first I heard was '4 weeks tomorrow' Andalucia! I didn't know you were going or anything about it I must be reading the wrong posts.

Have a wonderful time - you fully deserve it friend.

Hi GB.

So very pleased for you.

Dp remember to have paella and their wonderful gazpacho. Heavenly food. !!

I count my blessings daily, Webby
You haven't missed anything, scorp. This is my first announcement
Thanks Christiane, I intend trying all the Spanish food, including jamón which I admit is making me drool

don't forget to sample a lot of cava, the spanish

it is good in the morning, at noon and - maybe particularly, but i'm not quite sure yet - in the evening

try mixing it with freshly squeezed in the morning

If you're in Seville, try the ham at Casa Teresa with their house wine. Tapas heaven. Ask Teuchter.

As I'm allergic to wine, I'll not be trying any of that

However, the ham is top priority

There's something going on the day after we arrive:

Sounds brilliant

That sounds like a feast for all the senses

A festival of "culture, leisure, music and gastronomy"?! Wow!

Have fun, GB.

TRiG.

Andalucia rocks. You'll have a great time.

I just thought you should know that. You can insert your own pun about Gibraltar also rocking.
