Hi Steve,

I think you are lucky in Britain, in my opinion your Country still keeps a
respect and love for the old traditionnal things, here we have replaced
wonderful beaches by awful buildings, Spain is a nice Country, but sometimes
too much easy for the "Nouveaux riches ou les parvenus". 

I'm very happy you liked them, I agree with you about the children pics, but
as said, on these ones I was looking more to document a fact than to shot
good pics.

Thanks for sharing Steve,
Saludos cordiales
Luis

A _very_ nice set Luis - difficult to pick a favourite, but the ones of the
children looking into the shop are probably the ones I liked the best. Nice
to see a couple of self portraits too <grin>

It's sad to see a 'real' shop like this close, especially if it was still
profitable to the owner. No doubt it will be replaced by yet another shop
selling tourist rubbish. To quote Joni Mitchell, "You don't know what you've
got 'til it's gone".

Thanks for sharing these, I really enjoyed looking at them.

Steve
