Hi Angela,

Thanks for that, loads of names I�ve never heard of.

Do you know Alicante? Have you been walking there?

I think the best place to walk in Spain is Jaen, my home. There are some stunning walks from our Holiday Home through the olive groves. You can literally walk out of the front door and go in any direction into the olives up into the hills and breath in the silence and fresh air.

It�s a great place to unwind and the mobile phone coverage is poor - I love it.

Hi Rachel:

No I have never been to Alicante.

Thanks for sharing the description of your holiday home - sounds beautiful.

I see your location is Spain - how exciting.

I love see those old movies - so romantic.

Have you lived there a long time?

I am originally from Jamaica, West Indies. Been in the USA since age 16, now 52.
