Summer and other things I love??? about Murcia

Walking

Spain isn’t a good place for cyclits but for pedestrians it is normal. Whe you walk walk on a zebra crossing some drivers stop.

Banks

Banks in Murcia are bad. You don’t do everything online and you can’t pay when you don’t have money. There aren’t enough ATMs and when you take out money they charge a comission.

Drivers

Spanish drivers are only polite with women, with men they hoot and say insults.

Chemists

In Spain there are a lot of chemists and they are completely different from UK chemists. The shop assistant gives away presents.

ID cards

In Spain we have the identity card and in Britain they don’t.

Summers

I hate Spanish summers because it is very, very hot. A good summer day in Spain is very hot. We have a lot of sun and it is suffocating.

Starbucks

Starbucks in Spain is nice. They offer good coffee, a newspaper and magazines and wi-fi. They are expansive. Usually, in Spain, there are very few Starbucks.
