Parador Antequera

... ham, and beef. She said it was very traditional and that you mix it all up and dip your bread on it. It was so good. It reminded me of Thanksgiving. Then tonight the ISA group had a dinner at a restaurant (they rented it out) it was so good. Wine, salad, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, gravy, cranberry type sauce, and some kind of meat. We later found out that the meat was turkey with stuffing. It was really good. I can't remember ...

A couple of days ago I was talking with a friend of mine who is from England but is living in Malaga now. He told me that one time in a restaurant the waiter asked how the meal was and he told the waiter that it wasn't that good. He told me that normally the British will just sit there with an unhappy look on their face and never say anything. He got the meal for free. Today I met two really cool people from Seville, Alejandro (Alex) and ...

We woke with hangovers again and decided to go to the smugglers bar for a full english fry up. We have not ate bacon for the whole time that we have been away and I have been dreaming about bacon buttys lol. It was a really nice breakfast and just the thing for a hang over. We then went for a walk down the famous strip of the Costa Del Sol. Its ok and really pretty the beach is lovely and there are lots of bars and even spanish ...

... was very tasty and I feel better that I can at least eat again without being so paranoid about where the food has been stored all day. We had met an english lady on the train that was so ill by the food in morroco that i felt really glad and relieved that we had come off so lucky.

Ian was feeling much better as well thankfully and we go on the bus to our final place the Costa Del Sol rodney! It was a ...

... for an affordable holiday. torremolinos tends to have more belgian, dutch and northern europeans.

terry and i travel well together, we usually don't go out to eat and prefer to shop for our own groceries, stay in and cook. we usually rent a time share or in this case an apartment/hotel which is like a time share only the kitchen does not have an oven, just a stove top. there is a hybrid microwave with convection oven that i am afraid of using after my toast ...

We were so enjoying our time in Costa del Sol, nothing but beaches, pool time, and british families. Costa del Sol is pretty much the Florida of Europe, only the water´s not as warm. And the definition of a 4 star resort is a bit different in Spain than in the US... When we first arrived, they tried to put us in an apartment with 2 twin beds! Finally playing the ¨honeymoon¨ card played off, and we ended up with a spectacular room (see pics for the view). But after 4 days of lying ...

... for lunch is an area called Chininitos where there are lots of chairs and tables set outside for a great seafood.
Teatro Romano is another nice place to visit, heading up to the Mount Gilfrano from there allows to see the whole city underneath. Amazing view of the Torre where the bullfighting occurs.
Once seeing the precaussions was over at night, we head out to Cordoba for our last day of visit in the Southern Spain.

... It was like something out of a storybook and dragged us right back in time. Though ridiculously simplistic, I was blown away with it all. It was perfect. And the tapas. Utterly superb and the best so far, which meant smearing another daubing of grease onto the already slippery slope. We walked some more and talked some more and stopped some more and drank some more and ate more ...

... tix on the web or take a guided tour picking up from the hotel... All of this is unnecessary at this time of year. We got in for 10 euro each as opposed to 40 each for a tour with pick up from hotel. The bus took us straight to the Alhambra booking area and we lined up for 40 mins. And there is a free area that u can also check out!! While lining up we met a cool guy from Poland - Thomas - who ...

... listening to the dogs barking through the olive groves. On Tuesday I set off first thing for the main hotel to inform them of our views on barking dogs. I advised the hostess that, in addition to our group being in an overdrawn sleep-dept position, one of our number was quite ill from exhaustion. I suggested that, out of concern for her, we would remain at the villa and rest for one more ...
