Costa Conil Conil de la Frontera

... size of a penny on my forehead! But I wasn't alone! The train was smooth sailing and we arrived by mid-day. We walked the short walk to our hostel, which we at first passed (well, twice haha) and went through the long check-in process. But during check-in, we got to take in the amazing hostel that we would be staying the night in. Sadly, I can't think of the name at the very moment, but once I do I'll fill in the blank for the both of us. It is ...

... and Cameron Diaz in it. I hope they get a part! Lunch was interesting and kind of like eating in a Chinese restaurant as the plates just kept coming! After lunch we said goodbye to the sons and continued walking and finally ended up back at the ship but not before taking a rest in the Plaza DE Espana across from the ship. When we were there the park cat ladies came by and fed the wild cats who were pretty friendly. Great ending to a very nice day!

... set up a little ladder so that the mice could drink the sherry out of a wine glass!<br><br><br>Then we went to the horse show. Very similar to what the Lippanzaner Stallions do. It was&#8230;an experience&#8230;but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll ever go watch something like that again. But I can at least say that I've seen it.<br>

We got up really early (for us vacationers). It was about 8:15am. We decided we would drive 2 hours to a city called Jerez de la Frontera to see the famous dancing horses of Jerez. The tour guide said it was worth the drive... We arrived to another city. Not as big as Seville, but a city nonetheless. Shae was super excited to see the dancing horses. The show started at noon and lasted 1.5 hours. Shae lasted about 20 minutes - which was pretty good for her ...

... from the retreating Moors in the 14th and 15th centuries. Arcos is about 50 km. inland from Cadiz on the coast.<br><br> on driving: The directions said &#8220;Get to the top by the palace lookout&#8221; but with scant directions on how to do so. I have a photo of our Ford navigating the town&#8217;s tight alleys&#8230;..there were 3 fingers of space between stone walls and the car&#8217;s outside ...

... farly uneasy to see a million of trains packed with dressed up, stoned and half-conscious people; they were shouting, dancing and staggering on the station, dashing towards the city centre. When our train finally arrived, delayed over 2 hours, it was stinking so much of sweat and alcohol that its windows were steamy and everything was sticky. I considered thanking God for the air-condition that helped to sort it out.<br><br>I was back home almost at midnight.<br>

... Zunächst waren Tins Elt**n da, es war ne sup** Zeit und wir haben viel **lebt. Es war schön, die Familie hi** zu haben, mit ihnen die Erlebnisse zu teilen und die wund**volle Landschaft zu zeigen. Highlight für mich waren die schönen Abende in Conil sowie uns**e Canyoning Tour mit meinen Schwag**n. In Conil ist es im Juli und August richtig voll. Von den ursprünglichen 20.000 Einwohn**n w**den es dann schnell mal 150.000 Leute. Das Problem ist dann d ...

... den letzten Wochen schöne Dinge unternommen. Wir haben Rudi, einen guten Freund in der Nähe von Malaga besucht und so einmal auch die Costa del Sol gesehen, die ja schon Mittelmeer ist. Folgende Strecke fährt man da: Conil- Tarifa- Algericas- Malaga. Tarifa das ist die südlichste Stadt in Kontinentaleuropa, ganz in der Nähe zu Afrika. Das ist ein Gefühl, wenn man die Stadt kreuzt und dann einen Blick auf Afrika hat (s. Fotos) Wow, Spanien ist echt ein wunderschönes Land. Dann waren ...

... world - although they don't use SOLO cups here! We tried to go to a few discos - but Dave and friends hadn't brought nice enough clothes, and we couldn't get in without being charged rediculous cover charges of over 20 euro. So, the night ended up back in the bars - but was still a great time. The next day Dave went by Plaza de Espana and the Park de Maria Luisa before heading back to Alicante - a good visit! A few other night shots are in there too..

... with people from every background: French, spanish, portuguese, italian, english, canadian, australian. We were offered one bed for the night and one hammock on the rooftop. Literally, you could sleep under the stars. Beds opened up, but no one in the hostel slept til about 4 in the morning. People found their niches either in the boisterous common room, drinking and bantering or on the chilled out rooftops and dorms. It was a verifiable party ...
