El Camino

El Gordo!

If my blips start coming from a super yacht anchored in a peaceful Caribbean cove then you'll know that I've won a share of the Spanish National Lottery today!
Today is the big day, for the big Christmas lottery, affectionately called 'El Gordo' with a total prize fund running into hundreds of millions of euro. Tickets are hundreds of euro each but one can buy 10ths - a decimo, which I have here.
The 'Sorteo de Navidad' is really the start of the festive season here.
The draw takes hours and is being broadcast now on the radio and TV - thousands of painted wooden balls are drawn and each corresponding prize is sung by school children - totally bonkers and fantastic!
