He had to be rewarded for how dirty and abandoned he is. They plant trees, they dry up and bushes grow. The sidewalks are never swept away from the smells of dog pee…. Better not to talk. Jávea has never been so abandoned, I don't know what the mayor is happy about. I mean the Arenal. The neighbors are not registered and we do not vote there, this may be the explanation. … But mayor we do pay taxes, by the way more than the town. Take note.
Well I do not know if the tourists are enjoying seeing a dead rat on the sidewalk for a week

On the sidewalk in front of a loaf of bread, a few days in the gardener and other days on the ground, it has rained, but the bread is still there
