It is about 15 miles away from home, Alicante being the nearest place for any photos.
Hi Tony. I agree, the Ian Allan bookshop is a sad loss. They even stocked a reasonable number of Swiss/Austrian/German books and videos to satisfy my interests and their model railway section wasn't bad either.
I know how you feel about the lack of railways in your part of Spain but I can't feel sorry for you. I'm nearly 1000 kms from the trains that I love but have to put up with the dull damp Cheshire weather.
