I visited Valencia recently and saw four games of Spanish football inside 36 hours.

It was going to take more than some pretty compelling stomach cramps to keep me from Gimnastic Tarragona v Huesca on holiday recently, even if most of the locals clearly had better things to do with their Saturday evening than a pre-season friendly

Stalemates are fairly common in the Segunda and so it proved here. The Sweet Caroline light show went down predictably well at half-time with the locals.

For my birthday this year I decamped to the Canary Islands for a bit of winter sun and local football.
