Spanish holiday with as much Panerai content as I could create during the past two weeks..

I see a lot of personal posts so thought I would combine some Pam content with some impressions of my recent family holiday to the NE of Spain.
It is truly a beautiful country with a lot of history.

So this time some shots of Pams, my wife Laura, my oldest son Ram, youngest Ruben and some impressions of the country.
Hope you like the shots.

And to keep you eager along the way: there is a Pam 315 tourbillon encounter in it!!
so here it goes:

Ruben:

Holiday emergency kit:

Yes I am a strap "sissy"..... Didn't want to make the strap wet so that is what the box is for....

What makes life worth living:

Medieval city of Pals:

Evening sky:

Dali museum in Figueres:

This guy is guarding the entrance......Sorry.... no watch ;-(

Bronzo in dutch watch magazine......
[linked image]

In the dutch version of 00/24 Horloge saw this IWC. Made me greedy........ wink.gif again.......
[linked image]

There were forest fires in the north od spain. Made the sky very very dark. Almost surreal... But It gave me the opportunity to make a wrist shot directly in the sun!!!!
[linked image]

Trip to Girona and as a surprise....... Yes!
[linked image]

372 on stock:
[linked image]

I could resist to go in directly first some more Girona impressions:
[linked image]

Medieval Call
[linked image]

[linked image]

Cava time. Made agreat combination with Laura's watch. Anybody?
[linked image]

wink.gif
[linked image]

Not smart but after some cava back in the AD Pere Quera
[linked image]

They have a special Panerai area in the shop and a great collection:
[linked image]

Ram is getting interested....... Oh No......
[linked image]

[linked image]

He is 6 , almost 7 now..... Maybe I should guard him for The P virus but he what the hell..... It's nice to have mutual hobbies (toch Pa? wink.gif some Dutch words for a lurker....)
[linked image]

[linked image]

This would look nice in my room:
[linked image]

And this would look even better wink.gif
[linked image]

Some of the watches:
[linked image]

[linked image]

Left the store with (only) a 2012 catalog.... Had to be strong wink.gif This guy is hoping on a 449 wink.gif
[linked image]

You have to start young wink.gif
[linked image]

Ruben training his wristshot pose:
[linked image]

crowdy Barcelona Metro:
[linked image]

Third time I see it grow......
[linked image]

In the centre of Barcelona there is a Pam AD Rabat and they had some great pieces......
305!
[linked image]

[linked image]

I saw this inside the store and yes I could touch and try it wink.gif PAM 315!!
[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

An engineering Masterpiece: Pam 315 with Tourbillon
[linked image]

Further along the same street they have a second Rabat store: Again the 3015 and an IWC miranmar.
[linked image]

And strawling further on this street we came along this: Another one of my passions
[linked image]

Some more Barcelona impressions:
[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

Time for a strap change. Off came the Black Widow and the X-1 is back on:
[linked image]

Medieval city of Begur:
[linked image]

[linked image]

[linked image]

Great restaurant with an amazing in- and exterior in Begur. Time for a wristshot:
[linked image]

[linked image]

Love of my life:
[linked image]

Happy me ..... The cava made me smile some more wink.gif
[linked image]

LaFranc

If you made it this far: Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it wink.gif
P-Day here I come!!!!

Fantastic trip. One of my favorite areas of Spain.
Wonderful pics my friend, and I see you had good time with your family.

You visited two of the best Panerai AD in SPain. Rabat is where I buy my watches. If I had know in advance, I could have made a call!...

Glad you had great time in my country mate!

WONDERFUL family!!!

Be well!

Where do you live Nacho so that next time?! wink.gif

P.S both the AD's were a pleasure to visit. VERY friendly people who were also very enthousiast Panerai lovers!

See you in London?
