The start of the new season for the Torrevieja U3A is finally here after an extremely hot summer break.
The association also went international this week when the UK’s Channel 5 programme, “Bargain-Loving Brits in the Sun,” featured the Torrevieja U3A “Costa Blanca Morris Dancers” as it also started its new season after the summer break. The troupe leaders, Jean and Dave Tonge put the troupe through their paces in Campoverde at a local fete to demonstrate their dances whilst also trying to encourage new members to join up. The Morris Dancing tradition goes back years and this group are doing their best to keep the tradition alive.
This week also saw the return of the Petanca groups that meet on Wednesdays and Sundays. Similarly The Ramble group took its first walk of the season, starting off from the Bar 222 at the north end of Torrevieja and then proceeding along the boardwalk and promenade through to the vibrant and busy promenade and finally along the Dique de Levante walkway to the lighthouse situated at the end. A great photo opportunity looking out to sea.
