(1) Spanish couple; he is looking at the bus route diagram (the bus stop sign reflectd in his glasses), she may be looking out for a bus. Both seemed somewhat flustered or exhausted. Too impatient to wait for public transport, they finally took a cab.
(2) Paseo de la Alameda, a small but pleasant little park. No tourists seem to rest here, I guess they want a sea view. Those who live here have plenty of that.
(3) Musicians, in the old part of town, heading towards the area where hordes of tourists sit dissipated in a maze of 'cosy', 'authentic-style', small restaurants. Watch the woman to the left, she is featured in the next photograph.
(4) Woman studying a menu, behind her perhaps her husband, the face of whom seems to merge with hers to some kind of mustached hand-puppet face.
(5) The local bus stop at the long distance bus station. To the right you see two German tourists, who spotted that I was one of their kind and enquired about the itinerary. The photographer is reflected in the bus map / timetable.
(6) Elitronet web access point in the hotel where we were staying (another Panope meeting). Too expensive to consider.
(7) Y. took a photo of me, with my preposterous Domke bag, sitting beneath one of the Dali sculptures that turn the Avenida del Mar into a kind of open-air Dali museum.
