Re t 8 HT or WE 4 Tn Te Te Te Te Te Ten Te To Te] 4 nl Jam with AN _ ~J--= CIC CXC Bruce Stewart Excerpts from my Diary on . November 20, 1973. A day spent doing nothing véry much. It is now our sixth day in Cullera, a Spanish town of about: 4,000 Spanish speaking people and a varying number of tourists, depending on the time of year. - Cullera is a scenic little town located, about 60 miles south of Valentia on the Spanish Mediterranean and this is the off season for tourists. We have a nice room in a new 12-storey -apartment-hotel building. You only see build- ings-like this along the Spanish coast and in Madrid. We are paying $1.00 each a night for the room and we even get hot water sometimes. This is our first real rest after a month of hectic travelling through Europe. We have spent the first five days in Cullera laying on the beach and exploring the town and the near-by orange groves. Cullera itself is sharply divided between the old and the new town with the new town built on the side of a mountain facing the Mediterranean and the old town on the otherside of the mountain. The old town reaches half-way up the mountain and faces the river where there are fishing boats as well as men fishing off of wooden platforms extended a few feet into the river. The older section of town has narrow, narrow, winding street made out of brick and concrete blocks. Two small cars have great difficulty passing each other in some places. Most houses are two storey, made of cement blocks and the blocks have been plastered over and painted. The houses are all vertical and attached to each other and have roofs made of red drainage tile. The houses have been painted various colours at various times and the paint is often peeling and always dull because it has been applied to cement. All windows have shutters and most ground floor windows have iron bars of some sort over 'them. Some don't have glass windows, just a screening. The day time temperature is around 70 degrees and it gets down to about 50 at night. If you are a tourist, the Sea is still warm enough to swim in although the locals don't seem to bother at this time of year. ; It is not unusual to see a horse drawn cart, 7] with a load of fresh green grass or just about anything else, plopping down the street. This is the heart of Spain's orange growing country and we have taken daily walks through the .nearby country. ir] There are millions of orange trees and this is the right time of year as the orange harvest is in full swing. Many men and Women are working in the orange fields, picking and packing the oranges. In the old part of town there are many small hy shops and each one often sells only ane product such as meat; bread or canned goods. i There is a central market where you can buy fruit, vegetables, meat or cheese and it operates six mornings a week. There are also hand carts on the street selling huge fish that are still alive. And there is a hand-pushed milk cart with a couple of big milk cans on it. The woman scoops out enough milk for each of her customers. You can buy wine from the local dealers who keep it in large wooden kegs. If you bing your own bottle you can buy cheap wine for about 28 cents a litre and good wine for about eighty cents .a litre. We had a couple of Coca-Cola bottles that served well. The new part of town consists mostly of high rise apartments and hotels and must be quite a "swinging action spot in the summer with a large "number of bars and discotheques. We went to one at about 8 p.m. and were surprised at all the young people there. Most of the people were rather '"'straight- looking' compared to what you would find at a -similiar bar in.
