[Leica] Nathan's PAD 1/1/2017: welcoming 2017 in Alicante

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

Excellent reportage from Party Central, Alicante, Nathan. I like the blurry 
one too!
I'm just catching up here on the LUG and have just looked back further on 
your site at ones I have missed, and must say that I'd never seen suckling 
pigs in plastic bags before. The wife would scream if I brought one of those 
home!
