Spanish Stuff
Another major festival in April is the Moros and Cristianos held in Alcoy in the Provence of Alicante.
This festival commemorates the battle of Alcoy in 1275 when Saint George assisted the defeat of the Moorish hoards lead by Al Azzaq.
The Moors and Christians takes place between the third and fourth weeks in April, not an attempt to be historically accurate, its about having fun as the marvellous, noisy and colourful spectacle of the battle is reenacted with verve and energy by the local population.
The Alcoyans prepare well for this annual festival as some 30 armies are prepared to battle.

One For The Ladies
Did you know a girls best friend in the kitchen is a vacuum sealing machine?
VacPak before freezing or storing.
Keep Vacced veg in the fridge chiller compartment for weeks, even Judy Bransons lemons!!
Saves money, stops food going off.
Just make sure to pack in usable quantities,
eg. I pack lemons in pairs, and onions individually, which is how I normally use them.
Even helps with some posh cooking if you fancy some Sous Vide !! Google it!
Machine and replacement rolls, various sizes, not expensive from Amazon.
