Kristal Torremolinos

... ill but it was cheap and filled us up. <br><br>We went to a place called Montys bar where they had a live act on we thought it was going to be really cheesy but it turned out to be ok. Steve the man who was playing was really good and played lots of old classics man rock songs so Ian liked it and I enjoyed it to. We then stagered back to our room around midnight a little drunk again. Looks like we are fitting right in with this holiday.

... and laughing at the funnyness of where we are. <br><br>As we walked past the bars imagine how funny it was to see loads of english couples a little older all sat in a bar watching only fools and horses. I always thought people where kidding when they said they came on holiday like this but is so true. Each to there own is all I can say. Ian is struggling to adjust and keeps saying he wants some spanish food. Lol.

... store, not as good as costco but still pretty good. i have been making soups with chicken and veggies and noodles, a nice salad, some spanish rice too. we've been enjoying drinking the spanish red wines here which are very cheap, we actually found a bottle at the local market for EUR1.00 which is roughly usd1.51; take that two buck chuck! it was definitely drinkable and cheaper than soda!! terry found a steal at the local super sol grocery market, eur.17 a can of beer ...

Today we had an excursion to the Caves of Nerja about an hour away on the bus. The little town on the water was cute and reminded me so much of Dubrovnik. We have free time to visit the little church and have an ice cream. Then we were off to the nearby caves which were fascinating but didn't learn much because the guide was doing double time with the tour speaking both French and English and he spoke mostly French even when he was speaking English it seemed.

... the pool, cooking for ourselves, and watching MTV in German (South Park is hilarious, BTW) it was time for another adventure. <br>We ended up booking an actual group tour to Morocco for the day. We wanted to go check it out on our own, but it was actually cheaper to do it though the tour, so we got up at 5:45 in the morning on Thursday and got on the bus to Tarifa, where we would take the ferry over to Tangier. <br>Even though it´s only a 35 minute ferry ride, Tangier really is ...

Sylvie repart pour la suisse... heureusement, je ne suis pas seule à l'auberge et passe une bonne soirée avec d'autres voyageurs!! On boit un peu, beaucoup, trop de sangria... et je décide à 6h du matin de repousser mon départ de Malage au lundi... j'ai trouvé un prof d'espagnol que je prendrais bien avec moi pour un petit bout de chemin ,-)<br>

... de jeunesse ici (Picasso's corner), je vais pouvoir laisser mon vélo pendant que nous voyagerons à Grenade. Ambiance de ville-plage mais la vieille ville de Malaga convivial avec ses petites ruelles étroites et ses terrasses... je trouve un livre de Philippe Sauve "Siberia" que j'emprunte à l'auberge en leur promettant de le ramener lorsque je viendrai chercher mon vélo!<br>

After breakfast and nice stroll on the beach, we head out to see the next city in the list which was Malaga. Malaga is very big compare to its size on the map :)<br>The trick is to head out to the old part of town to see the actions. Lots of architectures are dated back few years. <br>Cathedral as like the other places, is a must see in the old city. Small cobble stone alleys make it very nice and easy for walk. <br>The best ...

... went to bed and I stayed up reading. ********* I didn't sleep all that well as it was cold and the noise outside in the morning was terrific, and I was even using my earplugs. Pension Venecia is right off of one of the main squares, Plaza Nueva, as well as the main road up to the Alhambra, the number one tourist attraction in Grenada and the reason I'm here. Tonight I've already closed the window and the shutters, hoping it will alleviate the cold and noise, but we'll ...

Long bumpy drive into Seville City walking tour - cathedral, Giralda tower, back streets, Santa Cruz area - narrow streets, houses with lovely cool tiled patios & courtyards just inside their doors Gardens, orange trees everywhere, nice fountains, "gold tower". Headed towards Malaga - orange & olive groves Malaga Torremolinas
