My little trip to Benidorm...


Last week I went for a little semester with my husband and my youngest son.
We went to Benidorm, Spain. 
We have been there before but this time we did not have luck with the weather.
It was raining and blowing, did only get one beach day :(


But we did not stay in the hotel crying over the weather, we bought an umbrella and a raincoat and went for a little trip.
This picture was taken in Albir, we went there by a bus and took a long walk along the beach.
This is me and my 16 years old son.


And this is my son and my husband.


After Albir we took another bus to Altea, a small town with a beautiful hill, with a beautiful view.
We did walk up to the hill to enjoy the beautiful view. I missed the sun.
On the way down the hill again I saw a little artist shop. There were 2 "old" men painting beautiful paintings and I bought 10 prints from one of them, the other was making a big paintings on canvas, difficult to travel with, but as we were there a couple were buying one big painting from him.


On the Levante beach there were some artist too. Look how beautiful it looks, all made of sand. Dont know how they make it... and how they keep it.


I did pass this shop many times, loved this lady, finally someone looking normal..... or like me... :)


One day we did take a walk from the Bali hotel, down the road all the way to the end of Levante beach (6-7km) On the way we stopped by a little bar and there I had this drink in the middle of the day... I saw Strawberry Mohito on the meny and I had to try it. 
Cant tell you how delicious it did taste, strawberry, minta, rom and ice ♥ ♥ ♥


Before we left I made two long bird paintings, kind of like them... 10x30cm



It was nice to get home seeing my little prinsess again. My little angel is always smiling

♥ ♥ ♥

Happy PPF to all of you

Ill post some more art next week for you

Have a beautiful weekend

  2. Enjoy your photos of Spain. Too bad about the weather but it looks like you had fun inspite of it. We have some amazing sand sculptures here in SW Florida in the Spring also. And you are right, they are artists as well.

  8. I love that mannequin who appears to be of a good size and looks great. Sounds like it was fun despite the rain. I'd love to go to Spain one day. I order a lot from this shop called La Tienda. My ancestors are from Spain so I feel this urge to go there. Nice photos and your birds are awesome. Thank you.

  13. Thank you for sharing those lovely vacation pictures. I'm glad the rain didn't stop you from enjoying. What serendipity to find that little art shop with the two men painting. That alone would make my day. I like your bird paintings too. I love that long shape in a painting. HPPF
