There won't be many photos from that era because no one carried a camera at that time, and no one had the money either. We were only allowed to take £65 out of the country at that time.
A pension was 100pts a night, a Cuba Libre was 25, a beer 15,Spanish Cigarettes 15, a phone call home 1000 ! And my weekly wage was 1000 , 10 hours a day 7 days a week! We arrived in April and none of us had been abroad before, I was 20 and the youngest, it took until June to get a job and we lived in a big army tent on a campsite at the top of the town on where the road to Tossa began. My photograph was taken by an Argentinian photographer and there was a girl called Sandra who also did that job and she and Billy from the picture were fixtures in the town when I returned in 1971. I worked until October and then went travelling with John Lowman who owned that bar, we went to Morocco before the hippy invasion and all over Spain in a Dutch 2 CV until Christmas
Thanks a lot
Richard
