Feliz Navidad signs are in evidence on some streets in Nerja and Frigiliana. January 2009?

January 2009 could be about right, as my place doesn't have the guttering that was fitted in February 09.

While they could have been up for some time Euromarket in Fuengirola has posters up advertising November discounts/deals.

I saw the Google Camera come down my road in February.

I've not been able to get street views to work, perhaps they've not been to Periana yet. Google earth is something I only use maybe twice a year so I'm not too bothered. Interestingly from a look at google maps yesterday I learned that my Calle has had a name change, a surprise to me and the neighbours.

Hi mhic,
On Google maps if the "man" on the " + - " bar is greyed out then no street views available on the bit of the map that you have up, if he is yellow then drag him into the map area and the roads that have street view will be in blue.

If you only use Google Earth twice a year best to update before using .
All my best learning experiences start with a problem I need to solve.

Looking around some more it's clear this was done over a period of some months with some area's recorded/photographed more than once.

Ronda is a prime example. Crossing the bridge from the old town it's dark and everyone is dressed for the artic. Halfway across the bridge it's suddenly sunny and people are in shorts and T-shirts. A bit further on there's a market in full swing and then suddenly it's gone and the weather's different again.

Yes .Griff. If you look at the Malaga football ground and turn North after you pass the 'river' it becomes darker. Here in West Yorks I live in a small village , saw the vehicle on the main through road but I've also seen it twice in the small cul-de-sac I live in.
