Football. Travel. Beer. Spain
CD Estepona v Juventud de Torremolinos El Estadio Francisco Muñoz Pérez / Tercera División - División de Honor Andaluza Grupo 2 / 22nd September 2019 Where would you rather go? El Estadio Francisco Muñoz Pérez to watch semi-pro Spanish football or Disneyland Paris? Actually, I shouldn't bother asking that, as I know plenty of groundhoppers... Continue Reading →
Málaga v Rayo Vallecano La Rosaleda / Segunda Division /17th September 2019 I've missed playing football so, so much, so I was delighted to make my debut for the school staff football team against the school's sixth form last Friday. It was the first time I'd stepped onto any form of football's hallowed turf (the... Continue Reading →
“It’s a really cool city this, but I’m not sure I could ever live here – or anywhere out in this part of the world actually.’ As me and my pal Gibbo zig-zagged through the narrow, labyrinthine streets and alleys of Seville, this was the statement that the day’s bucket load of cheap Cruzcampo made...

Here's my first bit of advice to anyone visiting Almería: if you want a quiet day and not be noticed, do not wear a Feyenoord Rotterdam shirt out in the street. As I learned very quickly, you'll get approached repeatedly by middle-aged, Dutch women holidaying in the city and they will hassle you and on occasions... Continue Reading →
Cruzcampo is one of those generic Spanish lagers that you can find all over Andalucía. Actually, you will certainly find it outside Andalucía too, as it is apparently the best selling lager in the whole of España. Spanish beer had never been something I was too keen or interested in before and so I'd never... Continue Reading →
This blog is about my first 24 hours ever in 'Marbs' back in April 2019 and is very much my whistle stop tour of the place. Many of these places I'll undoubtedly revisit in my time living there and hopefully I'll write about in much more detail. Excuse the language for a second but… “Fucking... Continue Reading →
