Oasis Atalaya Conil de la Frontera

... most Boho hostel you'll ever set your eyes on. It was an amazing first-hostel experience, I'll tell you that. Blew away all my expectations! It was a tall slender building that was very old. The downstairs lobby/kitchen area had a large table and wrap-around seat with plenty of pillows and tons of space. Ok this is going to be way too difficult to explain, therefore, please just take a good look at the photos! Just know that they had really cool ...

... to communicate. We were able to watch Flamingo dancing at the center in town as there was a special performance that night and the star was a young man who grew up in Cadiz and Loly and her husband have known as a child. After the show we went to lunch with Sergio and Oscar their sons. Oscar is older and speaks a little English and looks just like Jon Vaglio. Crazy. That morning both sons were at a casting call for a movie to be made with Tom ...

... 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 ...

... 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>

... e Nachbarn. Seit Ende Juli sind auch sie da. die ganze Familie, die in Essen b**eits unt** uns gewohnt hat. Nun hi** in Spanien :Tataa! Jan v**mietet seit Anfang August Segways, dass sind sehr int**essante Fortbewegungsmittel mit Elektroantrieb. Ich habe mich auch mal auf die Ding** gestellt und es macht total Spaß damit rumzufahren. Tin und ich haben entschlossen, dass wir Ende Septemb** nach Deutschland zurückkehren. Dies hat we***** mit ein** Kapitulation als ...

... auch so. Wir waren schon einmal in einer spanischen Gemeinde um sich das anzuschauen..sehr offen und nett diese Leute.Aber es sind auch viele Deutsche hier, vor allen in den Hotels findet sich "Little Germany". Wir hatten in den letzten Wochen schon ganz lieben Besuch, einmal war Rudi da, ein alter Freund aus Wülfrath, dann Pascal aus der Gemeinde in Mettmann und in der letzten Woche hat mich eine Arbeitskollegin mit ihrem Mann aus Heiligenhaus besucht. So sind unsere ...

... was a breath of fresh air. We took a bus from Algeciras to Tarifa and I fell in love. Then I saw Tarifa. Overlooking the water on a beautiful inlet this surfers paradise reminds me of Montanita in Ecuador. Jaime and I want to come back in the summer to further pursue our career as professional surfers. This post seems rambly but all I can say is that it´s actually a ridiculously brief summry of all I have seen and done. Pictures will tell it best and I will post ASAP ...

... dat midden in de straat de wind opeens weer afzwakt terwijl we twee mijl terug zo veel op de kont hadden. De avond valt vlak voor de haven van Tanger en het is al tegen negen uur. Een soort Friso (Havenmeester van WSV Almere) in lange jurk wacht ons op: "Welkom in Tanger, it's 7 o clock here and the customs will come to you! Please stay a board" Dat is dus 2 uur winst (of extra inspanning) deze dag. Een luidspreker roept de bevolking op voor het gebed, het is Ramadan ...

... time with an English speaking officer who explained very politely that we were camped in the middle of an Army firing range and would we mind leaving in the next few hours. We decided it might be wise to move 5 miles down the road to Zahara de los Atunes (Sahara of the Tuna). Drove straight past the camper vans in the car park and into the dunes on the beach to another very scenic camping spot before breaking open the vino tinto. Not quite the Saharan sand we are ...
