Or should I say Music-Abuse. I have often rambled on about where music is played and where it should not. Well this one is a dilly. Just come back from a weeks holiday with my partners family in Spain. they took us to a small town just outside Castellon, Valencia. To a sightseeing venue called St Josef which boasts Europes longest underwater caves.

For a small fee we clambered into a small, blue boat with a single skipper who gently pushed us along, gondola style. The water was smooth, the caves fascinating and well lit BUT on a loop system they played a piece of Spanish guitar music. It was quite a nice piece but by the 10th time I had heard it I want to swim out as fast as I could. The caves were full of atmosphere and with the music off we would have hear the gentle drip, drip echoing from the stalletites and the gentle drift of the boat.

Who even thought of cabling and secreting white speakers in such a natural surrounding is beyond me - they need hoisting up to the top of the caves and left dangling for eternity.

if you have any horror stories in simliar vein, tell me.
