BUT!

5th Bloomsday Bathe on the Beach, Malaga – Spain.

For the fifth year we are planning a simple reading, swim or paddle off the beach on Bloomsday this year on Sunday, 14th June. 

 What makes our event a little different is that the readers are encouraged to read their pieces in their own language. This is a fun, non intellectual, nor threatening event.

And it is FREE. All that is required is that you turn up on time to participate. It will be a memorable occasion. A fun get together! But you must bring your own copy of Ulysses. We will be reading from Chapter 2 and 4. Download from the internet in your own language.

 Where: The Beach, Fuengirola

Paseo Marítimo Rey de España, 29640 Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain. Opposite Hotel Florida, beside La Cepa Playa. Bring a beach chair or towel or you can sit on the sand!


 When: SUNDAY 14 June 2015, 8.45 AM – 11.30 AM.


 Cost: Free, no booking required. Breakfast will be available in the local Chiringuito, La Cepa Playa.
