The night before the wedding, a group of us headed for the wonderful El Tornillo bar, scene of some good nights in the past. This being a Thursday night, there was not much going on there (especially as early as we were around), but despite the general lack of people and slightly strange music policy, we did manage to hear a few decent tunes. The following day was wedding day - because of the heat in Spain, these things don't kick off until about 8pm, so we had the day to go to the beach. In the early evening, everybody gathered at a country house, where the short formalities happened. Because the house wasn't licenced to actually do the legal marriage, our friends had got "legally" married a couple of days earlier. The short ceremony was therefore to confirm this, and to kick the party off.This being a Spanish wedding, party was the order of the day (or night) - drinks, food, dinner at midnight, then a free bar until 4am - it was rather a heavy evening and night. Nobody really moved before midday the next day, the English contingent made the most of a late night, putting the Spanish tendency to stay up late to shame! When I fell onto the plane home, it was a most welcome chance to sleep!
