I think it's incredible how the government in Fuengirola has seen fit to provide such wonderful and generous services. It's an amazingly accessible city.

And it does make me proud.<br /><br />Interestingly, even though the official lifeguards' T-shirts say "socorrista," I usually hear people refer to them as "salvavidas."Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-32231498702928815582014-08-26T19:13:41.979+02:002014-08-26T19:13:41.979+02:00Andrew:

So, it's naturally inviting to people with less mobility or physical challenges. But the city amazes me with how far they've taken it.

The dog part is the best too because I would love to have dog help me if I ever needed it. Alas, poor Sophie just frets when I'm in the water. It all started many moons ago and I didn't have the strength to prevent her paws from clawing me. So I just let her play in the water by herself. Isn't that a coincidence ~ the fact that the pontoons were made in the U.S. This always intrigues me.<br />Ronfromsophiesviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532257840856313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-72572644350291141432014-08-23T00:56:52.694+02:002014-08-23T00:56:52.694+02:00OH MY HEAVENS!

I did sprain my ankle a little the other day!), but what a caring service to have available. Great place! (And, how fabulous that a dog gets to be your helper :) )<br /><br />p.s. I am so excited to learn the Spanish word for lifeguard! It reminds me of the French phrase that you yell when you need help: <i>Au secours!</i>... sooo.... <i>soccorista</i>..... <i>secours</i>.... cool!
