    Another terrific video you guys, just sorry to find it so late. It’s really great to see another couple happy and enjoying life. They say the simple things mean so much, that’s probably why I mean so much to my missus. 👍

    Another great video. If you don't need to come back to the UK then I agree, stop there till its safe to go home!
    Plus..... If you go back then you won't be making these videos so from a selfish point of view we are glad you are stuck there haha!

      Hi Phillip, Thanks for watching. Maybe that's a good subject for a new video, I have lots of favourites restaurants but in my area, I would have to say Gran China at La Siesta is one I find to be always excellent food, service and quality. Best wishes, Mike and Yvonne

    Good idea to stay where you are. My partner and I are currently split. One in Nottingham and on in Torrevieja. I’d rather be in Torrevieja. Far safer COVID-19 wise. Thanks for the video. I know all of the route well :-)

      We also think it's safer here, covid wise, at the moment. I think we'll take your advice and stop here for a little while longer.

      I’ve put a link to the bikes we bought at Decathalon in La Zenia Boulevard, near you in your previous post. I’m 64 and enjoy riding the bike on this flat terrain and great bike tracks in this area. It’s got to be good for you and keep you fit.
      If you didn’t get the link let me know....

    Somebody got killed on that bridge.. its not a great area for pedestrians. Weve seen "the walking woman" walking down the inside of the dual carriageway!- how she is still alive, I dont know!
