The first hint of warmth from the sun combined with a (supposedly) deserted beach (albeit not a tropical one) and crystal clear waters can certainly bring the temptation to throw off the thermal underwear and dive in. <BR/><BR/>I had a theory that this instinct was based on a shared cultural/’land’ memory – in a place where people were practically sewn into their “base layers” for the winter months, throwing them off and immersing yourself in the sea was probably a necessity rather than a frivolity! <BR/><BR/>However, this may have been disproved by Wendy’s comment – unless all these Spanish beauties have Scottish roots?!Dot Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907616230815143752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6229165120605701126.post-83521122604351549382007-04-20T16:01:00.000-06:002007-04-20T16:01:00.000-06:00In Spain, this seems to be more prevalent than eve...In Spain, this seems to be more prevalent than ever!
