Laundry Day in Spain

When looking for a place to live in Spain, a washer and dryer were on my “must have” list.  We were fortunate enough to find one – washer / dryer combination (not so popular in the US).  First order of business – figure out how to change the language (it was set to French from the previous renters). OK, got over that hurdle and I was able to wash a load of laundry – first load was just towels, just in case.  Once clean, I tried the drier part of this combo.  It ran for 3 hours and when finished, the towels came out so stiff, I could stand them up – I am sure I did something wrong.  Fortunately for me there was a “clothes hanging contraption” upstairs on the roof top deck I decided to give a try. Of course, first attempt, the wind blew it over and all that was clean, was now dirty again. We learned to secure it from the wind, and  I have to say, I am hooked!  The breeze and warm air not only dry the clothes, but it also irons them as well.  Mother Nature – best invention ever!
