Hello, just come into a nice warm house after a wet day on the farm and thought how lucky I am . I then thought how are those lads that walk up and down the playas of Spain . Love them , hate them or indifferent they must be really struggling to survive . It’s a thankless job anyway, I couldn’t stand all that rejection . I don’t know where our mojacan regulars live ,somebody said they travel to Roquetas . I’ve got my old favourite , big fella with a few teeth , been in mojacar for years . Whatever they are doing or living . Bless them

Shame , obviously you and me are the only one that have any concern for these people as they are now as much apart of Spain as Tapas . Sad that there is more concern about camper vans , dog muck and feral cats . That’s the human race for you . Take care be safe

I thought they were called the Looky Looky men! As in look at my goods.  🤔 we got to know some of them quite well when we lived in Torrox, and all told us they went back to Somalia (where most of them came from) in the winter. To catch up with family and relax before coming back the next summer. Hope this puts your mind at rest guys.😀

Unfortunately I lost faith in most of the human race a long time ago. You take care also!!  xx
