Their house was just outside a town called Calpe or Calp.

This was taken at a restaurant with a nice view over both Calpe town and the Calpe cliff (i think the cliff was called "Ifach" but not sure)

We also Visited Benidorm, since there were so many good restaurants there, the town itself was much much bigger than Calpe, so it was a fun experience

i just click the quote button, then post, then i click quote on the second post i want to quoute, but just copy everything in it (everything in between the "
" tags) then reverse, and click "EDIT" on my "first" post and paste everything into it, and then i just write my answer voila!:D



ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, where's the chicks,
