I read last week that Fuengirola issued new licenses to 15 street performers. The following day, a fire-juggling two-some appeared on the Paseo. They must be licensed because they’re allowed to perform throughout the evening inches away from all the restaurants; amid the trees, awnings, and pedestrians. I took some photos during our last two visits to Sandpiper Restaurant. One guy is the juggler/acrobat and the other is clearly there to ensure safety — he’s also the muscle for one segment, as you’ll see in the second photo.
The Unicorn
I think I’m starting to forget my English, which is tragic since my Spanish doesn’t fill the gap. When the juggler pulled out this one-wheeled thingamabob, I told San Geraldo, “Look, he’s got a unicorn… Wait… That’s not right. Unicycle.” At least I can still tell when it’s not right.

The Dragons
Speaking of fire (and extinct creatures), some of the sand sculptors along the beach have been having a good time creating dragons. A number actually breathe fire. Others don’t need to.
