Month: November 2023

We’re back at the same place for the last couple of days and it’s sunny, comfortable and familiar. So I’ll finish with some nice pictures from Malaga.

It’s been ages since we went to Ronda, so we made it our final day trip. We must have been before, but couldn’t remember it!

Anyway, well worth it.

And including a very splendid coffee and cake stop …

The views are amazing, and yet we both decided independently that we don’t actually like it very much. Because essentially the views are all there is. It’s quite a poor area and it shows, and it’s (very) low season so many shops/restaurants are closed. And to add to the fun, lunch (on the beach so amazing views again) was exorbitant for what we had.

So enough of the immensely privileged whining, and here’s a feast!

As we were in Granada for two days, it makes sense to give it some credit apart from the Alhambra – indeed it might even be Eileen’s favourite !

Cathedral – we were staying just by it so right in the centre, and even included parking.

And plenty of other stuff to keep us entertained.

Sunset is an event:

And here’s why

Very hard to get a real sense of it until you see it from the town. Stunning.

A peak experience. It must be at least 15 years since we’ve been, and couldn’t remember any of it. The inside:

We quickly realised it’s a morning place to stay – loses the sun at about 4.00 at this time of year, and is less comfortable sitting outside!

So Malaga and our old favourite beach/promenade come into their own.

Malaga is just as we remember it.

Cheers (Rum and Cointreau since you ask!)

Closest I’ve ever been to $200m!

Off to Granada and the Alhambra tomorrow.

Haven’t posted much, mainly because we haven’t really done much. But we have seen great beginnings and ends to the day.

As per usual, Eileen found us a decent place to stay – and we’re the only ones here so it is absolutely quiet.

Here until Wednesday – and you never know we might even decide to return here at the end. We’ll see.
