I wouldn't be surprised Mike - It was an amazing paella last year! However, as you can gather from another of my postings I don't like seeing snails on Paella and the ones in the Quesada fest were large and stripey ...but the Spanish seem to love them and I expect they are a delicacy to them.

Went to the Benijofar Parade on Saturday.Was a bit of a mis-mash of traditional Moors & Christians, followed by some very strange acts. Fair play, lots of effort was put in from a very smalll town, with some very nice costumes and very loud music.
Next weekend is the Guardamar M & C parade, and we think one of the best around. Sunday night will be a spectacle if it follows previous years. Snails are available on request at several bars if required
