We were lucky enough to have friends to visit in Periana yesterday. We ate wonderfully, had entertaining company and petted horses!
This afternoon we've stopped by another declared 'balcony of Europe' (isn't there another in Tarragona?) In Nerja. It's gorgeous. The weather is back to brilliant. Above I am staning with Alfonso XXII.
After our icecream we'll be on our way the the natural park of Cabo de Gata where we'll be stationed for the next two days.
Soft chocolate brownie. Two orange crescents dipped in dark chocolate. A cup of chocolate. Real chocolate. There is nothing more to say.
Right now we're in Grazalema, a white mountain village. It just started raining. There are tourists everywhere! No carpark! Amazing.
It's very pretty area.
We're heading to Ronda, the most famous of the mountain villages, and then we'll be staying with a family we met in Bihar, India, 4 years ago. wish us better weather!
We're leaving our Pension España in Cadiz for the sherry hub of Jerez.
Last night it was raining and cold so we opted to stay cosy in bed and watch a horrifying tale of heroin addiction. In retrospect I think I'd have preferred the rain and sad music.
It's a gloriously sunny day. The ocean is sparkling.
We'll be sleeping in Arcos de la Frontera to participate in the Easter processions there. They go all night.
Today we're aiming to visit Tio Pepe and one of the arab bathhouses.
Last night we were in the crush of people watching the spectacle of part of the Easter processions.
This morning we walked the coastal walk of Cadiz and ate tapas for lunch. An artichoke with soft cheese and rice was worth mentioning.
After siesta we went for a drive to Trafalga and further along to Vejer. A charming white village.
We even found a street called Jones Villa.
The only problem is that we're now stuck in a bar while the afternoon shower passes through.
We've just stopped for coffee in a small house set on the beach. The owner is chipping golf balls into the sand.
We've had a wallk around the main centre of Marbella and enjoyed our first Andalucian tapa. Goat's cheese and honey toast!
Then we stopped to parade along Porto Banus. Hmm. Ferarri here, Rolls Royce there. Nuff said.
Now we're heading to our destination. Cadiz.
Hi! We're off to the airport. It's pouring wwith rain. Lucky for my excellent jacket.
Today we fly to Malaga. We'll pick up a small hire car and take off to Cadiz.
