Musings on such.....after almost being blown off a mountain yesterday, and increasing wind speed today, I opted for the safer option of a coastal walk.
My usual walk up the coast to Denia for lunch in a favourite restaurant. The large marina, which is very attractive to walk around, was, as usual, full. I was surprised by the sheer number of large luxury vessels....my knowledge of such is very limited, but there must have been 30 odd vessels worth a million £ plus tied up. Huge things, often registered in the Caribbean, plus a hundred more which must each be worth a very high six figure sum.
Given that Spain must have many similar marinas along its coastline, how the heck do so many people accrue such wealth ?
I consider myself fairly affluent in the grand scheme of things, but even if I sold all my goods and chattels....house, car/s, Premium Bonds, camping gear, ever diminishing small drawdown Pension, I would still be nowhere near millionaire status.
Incidentally, lunch was at Saona, part of a small restaurant chain. Directly opposite the marina, 3 courses of which there was an extensive choice, delicious and great value at €11.95.
You can pay more than that for burger & chips in my local pub back home.
The excellent local beer, Turia, was a bit expensive at €4 a pint, but it was a restaurant so I’m not going to grumble.
