Norwegians Take in the Sun in Spain on Doctors' Orders

hich has become the Europe's Florida for northern Europeans looking for a place to retire in the sun.

"I love being here," said Rausi Norman, a 97-year-old former physical education teacher who was completing a second stay at the rehabilitation centre where she was being treated for back trouble.

"I just regret that I am not sick enough to stay for the full 12 weeks," she added as she subathed on her terrace wearing white shorts and a pink vest.

"It is very calm here, the weather is good, conditions are ideal," said retired art history teacher Tor Tvinnereim who was completing a fifth stay at the centre.

The centre has a heated pool to allow for swimming in winter and is fully wheelchair accessible.

Every week excursions to neighbouring towns are organized and on Saturdays a party with a surprise theme is held.

Guests especially appreciate the afternoons at the beach where they can go swimming, said Thorvaldsen.

"My doctor told me that I would be better off here," said 63-year-old Wenche Larsen who gets around in a wheelchair.

"There is sunshine, the sky is blue," said her husband Olav Larsen, a retired plumber, has accompanied her during the length of her stay. He called it the "best vacation" in his life -- and almost entirely free.
