Catalunya Calling

In case anyone's wondering why I haven't got any further than the first chapter of 'Barcelona and the Lost Nation', it's because I've been working on the the 'Going Native in Catalonia' Guidebook.

If there are any closet Catalans out there, I need your stories and opinions. I hope to have everything compiled by early September, so get blogging and contributing before it's too late.

I look forward to reading y6our ideas

Sciving in Murcia

We also dived with my original instructor at the club he now works at in La Azohia - RiveMar

We did two dives - Mina de Cristal and Cala Cerrrada. The dive centre is excellent. And our divemaster (and great friend) Dani Zuber ensured we had a wonderful time. Dani trains handicapped divers and handicapped diving instructors. You can see him in action here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqlcUWhXJwM

Cabo de Gata Alpha Diving Centre

We used the Alpha Diving school in the Sports Port of San Jose - Nature reserve of Cabo de Gata. They are an excellent school - really keen on safety, great location, wonderful dives. A father / son team run the school. We dived at Los Burros (also called Los Amarillos). Some photos below.
