  Once more into Spain.  What would have happened if the War of the Spanish Succession happened? Would La Linea be grander or less important? Would Gibraltar be a rock with a few batteries on it and that’s all. Who can say. Meanwhile let us plod on to Cruz Herrera Museum. The museum opens 10am - 2pm every day but Monday. It also opens 5-8pm Tuesday to Friday.  It has a Facebook Page.  https://www.facebook.com/NuevoMuseoCruzHerrera   It was last updated today - which is rare amongst these things.  The top review words are bugs, muy interesante and painter.

The fish was fantastic, as were the fries and the mushy peas. The service was excellent and friendly. We felt very comfortable and left satisfi...
