Month: March 2026

Just to show that even experienced travellers can make mistakes. Managed to book an electric hire car by mistake. The company supplied it but expressed surprise due to the lack of public charging points in the region. And when I asked how we could possibly return it fully charged they simply shrugged. So charged me for a “downgrade”!

Apart from that the food has been surprisingly good on the whole, and the pictures (when the sun is out) are great.

Total food miles – about 2 metres for the lemons and 4 for the oranges!

And just occasionally we do venture out a little bit.

Fantastic villa.

So when it’s sunny, there’s little point in going anywhere else.

Little bit vexed when looking at the weather forecast. Sitting on the terrace where the forecast is showing wall-to-wall sun now, but actually looking at heavy low cloud. Such can be the frustrations of a privileged existence! Spent the day in Malaga instead, which reminded us of what we like about it.

But it’s Sunday as I’m writing this and the sun has reappeared.
