Spain week one - day three

Tuesday April 29th 2008

Moorish Farmhouse, Orgiva, Spain

Our 9:00am yoga class is developing well. Two of the group are beginners and the remainder have done some yoga, but no one is prepared to be classed as experienced. So we are still working through the classic sun salutation step by step. Today we were focusing on the forward bends and the movement into baby cobra. This is our third class and everyone seems to be progressing well - or at least they are enjoying it. Tomorrow is the rest day so various newly worked muscles can have a break

Most people went out today at lunchtime, travelling to the local villages. Lanjaron seemed to figure highly in plans. This is a very interesting place based around the local bottled water industry. And there are some great views down the valley from by the main street.

There is a big turn out of locals to Linda's Pilates class as word has spread following Zoe's email and the first two classes. So tonight the courtyard is pretty full and most of our kit is being used. Later in the week we are hoping to persuade people to let us shoot a little bit of our planned home movie at the class.

We all dined out in Orgiva this evening. Drinks in one of the many bars in the main street by the church and then down to one of the nice places at the bottom of the main road. This is Nigel and Zoe's favourite place in town and was pretty good.

Then back to Nigel and Zoe's to watch the second half of the Barca / Manchester United match (for those who were interested!). One of our group is a keen Man City fan so he was rooting for Barcelona throughout. So a disappointing night for him
