November in Salou

Well it was looking a bit doubtful this morning in Salou, cloudy and a bit breezy but by lunchtime the clouds had gone and the sun was doing its job.
Took a walk along the prom past he fountains and made my way to La Sal.
Dani the nutty prop was still there working away in his own inimitable style, had a bottle of local brew and basked in the 21 degree sunshine.

Still a few people around but things are starting to wind down now.
Robin Hood closed, Black Bull closed, Parrot Bar closed and a few other local bars got their shutters down for the winter.
Strolled back to the old town popped into the only English speaking bar still open up that end of town Newyork 2 watched a bit of rugby then headed home for the night.
Ryanair have now stopped all flights into Reus from the UK so as the winter months draw in Salou starts to settle down to the locals way of life.

Ash cloud brings more disruption to Salou

Another week of flight chaos is heading the UK's way after that annoying ash cloud from Iceland has once more closed the skies over parts of Britain.

A no-fly zone has been imposed on parts of Britain by air traffic chiefs above parts of Northern Ireland until at least 1 pm today after the “high density” cloud approached the province from the north west.

Flights to and from Belfast International and Belfast City airports, and Ronaldsway airport on the Isle of Man have been cancelled until at least 1pm, with more possible airport closures expected on Monday.

The ash could close some of the busiest airports in southeast England until Tuesday, the transport department warned yesterday. At greatest risk today are Scotland and Northern Ireland.
