IX Medio maratón de Almería. 29 - I - 2006

[Antonio247]

It was great to be with you last weekend. I´m sorry that the weather was so cold and rainy although on Monday it was better.

It would be wonderful if you could also come next year,MLCM,and take part in my local half marathon and try our wines. By the way, in the province of Alicante there are several wines although not very well known. In fact,there´s a half marathon known as "Medio maratón de la uva" - "Grape half marathon" in Aspe,in the province of Alicante in December but I think it is mainly grapes to be eaten as the twelve grapes we have in Spain to celebrate the New Year, each grape for each month. A good way to start the new year having some fruit! That tradition comes from a year in the 1920s,I think,when there was an overproduction of grapes.
