Avda Amelia Sanchez de Alcazar s/n Almunecar, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands, 18690, 34958039400-
... was perched almost on the top of the mountain. Upon arriving in Frigiliana by bus, we had to hike through the entire village and then take another 600 steps up the steep side of the mountain. It afforded us beautiful views, incredible peace and quiet, and plenty of exercise. Avocado, olive, lemon, and orange trees surrounded the area. It was a wonderful place to rest and relax during Thanksgiving week.

... je dors dans une caravane, dans le jardin, j'ai une casita, c'est chouette! J'investis très rapidement les lieux... Ca me fait beaucoup de bien de me poser dans un endroit si calme, et rempli d'une belle énergie de vie! La vie simple de la campagne me plaît.. A côté de la caravane, se trouve une douche solaire (yeah!) et des toilettes sèches!! décidément y a tout pour me plaire ;-) J'essaie de parler espagnol, je sens que mon ...
Orgiva, Andalusia, Spain and Canary Islands debdeb80... in this area. So, of course, we had to try it out. It was pretty stuffy inside. Not sure they were ready for Shae. :) The salads were great but the sea bass was horrible. Mike had high hopes, but he was disappointed again with the fish. At least Shae enjoyed her chocolate ice cream dessert. We're heading out tomorrow for Granada.
... a train/tram tour around the city - which isn't very big. and then ended up in a playground where Shae played for a good hour. She met so many new friends. We then went to dinner at an italian restaurant. The food was good. So far so good with the food in this area. I think since it's more touristy than the mtn area where we came from there's more choice here. This was a great Shae day! Tomorrow we're planning to explore the coastline north of here.
... through the windy mountain roads, Mike found an awesome place to run. He drove us back to the house and set out for a 12 mile run through the mountains. he loved it. We headed into Burriana for dinner and planned to eat at Ayo a good paella restaurant recommended by Susan, who helped us with the house. Unfortunately, Ayo was closed for the evening so we walked around looking for another place to eat. We came upon a little cafe that served Thai/Indonesian ...
Nerja, Andalusia, Spain stacicheck... Nerja is a more populated beach town. The Balcon de Europa is a scenic tourist spot in town with a square, shops, restaurants, bars, etc. We headed there and walked around a bit. Mike asked around and we found an amazing place for dinner - Meson de Antonio. The food was so good. The place was packed so we knew it had to be good. We called it a night and got back to watch another movie on mike's laptop. So far we're loving the beach area.

Today was a road trip day. Off to the airport to collect our car, a Ford, or "Fix Or Repair Daily". Actually, ours did a very nice job...
We drove to the coast, to the what-I-thought-was-the-small-village called Nerja. I'd read it has special caves with stalagtite & stalagmite formations, kind of like the Calsbad Caverns in New Mexico. In fact, once you ...
... same guy! we couldn't believe it. And pobrecita, his girlfriend was just beside herself, I think she thought he might die. So we consoled her while the seven of us who were hanging out somewhere else asked the 4 people who were there what had happened. It was quite the event...I have always felt safe when walking around, but then again, I'm a girl. The guys who worked at the bar where they were though were absolutely amazing. They really took ...
Almunecar, Spain boldtel... we´ve learned two new tenses (both for the past - one generally for time which surrounds the present, and one for activities more than one day in the past), been instructed in the ways of Spanish pronouns and also learned how to form imperatives. It´s been quite a tough week, and I´ve still got homework to do!! Wednesday evening had me taking the new students to my all-time favourite tapas bar in Granada...at the risk of ...
Granada, Spain namalee... and a piece of bread. It was good. Finish off the beer and then everyone was up for another one. This time I had something like pinchito murano or something like that. Tender pork on a skewer with fried and a piece of bread, but I ordered a tinto de verano instead of beer. Red wine and lemon carbonated drink together. Almost like sangria only simpler. Mmmmmm. Barely finished when we were all off to the next place. I couldn´t believe how cheap it was. Something like that ...
