... The show was actually really good - she just got very bored, very quickly. you see one horse dance you've seen them all...Mike took her outside to play in the courtyard. The arena is set in a beautiful garden with a fountain. They had a ton of fun running around the garden and I thoroughly enjoyed the dancing horse show. There are 8-12 horses and horsemen who come out in the arena and do the most amazing horse dances all to beautiful spanish music. It ...

... linna ning teine linn oli koht, kust Columbus ostis oma teise Ameerika ekspeditsiooni jaoks laeva, samuti on see koht, kust ta minema purjetas. Kuna meil oli endiselt soov flamenkot näha, siis langetasime valiku Jerezi kasuks.

Turismiinfost saime teada, kus toimuvad turistidele suunatud (tasuline) ja kus kohalike (tasuta) showd. Viimase nägemiseks saime juhised ja kaardi ning asusime tunnike ...

... ritasime liikluskeerisest kuskile maa-alusesse parklasse pääseda. Selleks järgisime silte, mis juhatasid meid otse vanalinna kitsastele ja inimrohketele tänavatele. Õnneks masinad ja elusolendid said kooseksisteerimisega hakkama ja kellelgi üle varba sõitma ei pidanud. Järgmine kohustuslik osa oli söögipoolise leidmine. Teadagi, siesta ajal on ikaldus majas ja olime "sunnitud" sööma tuunikala- ja šokolaadipirukaid. Viimane oli küll kõige š ...

... vedelemas ja pärastlõunal tegelesime aktiviteetidega. Luusisime mööda kitsaid ja eksitavaid Conili tänavaid, sõime kala, jäätist, õhkasime kui mõnus on puhata, tegime window shoppingut (siesta!) ja jätsime ühe Swedbanki kaardi rahaautomaati – the usual. Õhtuks hankisime supermercadost meremolluskeid ja pistsime need potti, vähemalt sai kindel olla, et on hea söök lisaks heale seltskonnale ja veinile.

... Spanish side wasn’t overly-motivated to make it easy for tourists to enter Gibraltar. It looked like at least an hour wait, and it was hot, so after a u-turn, and a picture on the way out, and ticked Gibraltar off the “Saw It” list and headed north, up the coast. But the history and symbol of Gibraltar as entrance to Mare Nostrum and as a wartime bunker were not lost on me…

... up as bees, butterflies, doctors and other things. I thought I might have drunk too much, but my friends noticed that too. We tried to overhear some conversations to find out what was going on, but it was hard because of the noise of the ocean. Little did we know that Cadiz was about to transform that night into a giant stage for a festival of I-don't-know-and-I-don't-want-to-know-w hat, with people dressing up, dancing, drinking, smoking and making out in ...

... 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 ...

With a belly full of tomatoes, bread and oil, we stepped out of the hotel into a fantastic blazing morning with vivid blue cloudless skies. Always the way. We drove around the peninsula and over to Cadiz (pronounced 'Cadd-i', if you want to get into all this) on the Atlantic coast. It's reputedly the oldest town in Europe, founded somewhere around 1100BC. I can't even get my head round that. A bit ...

... night. Cadiz itself, famous for the chilled out vibe also had several loungey tapas bars and restaurants nearby. We treated ourselves to some Arabian tea, full on with the floor pillows and humus and tabouli. The city, though sprawling with new shops and old, had a very organic feel to it. You could either spend the day at the beach on the far end or walk along the boardwalk to get to the urban centre, the shopping meccas and the sights ...
