Appeal is out to try and rescue this poor galga, in a village in Seville province, in an industrial area near a gitano camp. I’ve asked my friends at Prodeanse, as it sounds as if the galga is in the area near them – which is a hellhole village for galgos. Fingers crossed for the galga.

Trip to Spain 2 – Seville – Prodeanse and Sofia El Refugio Escuela
The drive down to Seville from Valladolid was expected to take about 6 hours or so, so I’d bought a box of Lee Child audio tapes to help pass the time during the long drive. Much of the countryside through which the motorways pass is flat and barren – the land burnt brown by the scorching heat of the sun – broken up spasmodically by a narrow range of mountains topped with wind turbines, or massive solar panel farms on the plains – Spain is certainly ahead of France (where I live) in alternative power sources. The UK can’t compete as they simply haven’t the land mass.
One very noticeable difference from my previous visits to Spain was the lack of movement on building work – new roads part completed – now void of cranes, earth movers, building materials, silent and static – huge apartment blocks simply left as empty concrete shells, ‘se vende’ or ‘se alquila’ signs everywhere. (for sale and to rent). Clear evidence of the recession.
