Spent a wonderful time in Neja, at Jori’s
seafront apartment, enjoying the delights of free tapas with every drink. We
visited the Nerja caves, discovered in 1959 by 5 boys who were exploring some
of the local caves and stumbled upon some of the largest chambers in Europe and
the biggest stalactite column in the world!
We then headed to Granada for a few days to
sample the wonderful Moorish and Andalusian architecture of the Alhambra and
Albacin, followed by live flamenco during our evening meal, washed down with,
of course, more beer and tapas!
Next, a 5 hour bus ride to Madrid watching
The Simpsons in Spanish (El Simpsona). A truly impressive city, the largest in
the world without a major river running through it, we only had time for an
evening’s wander (and more tapas) before heading to the airport the next
morning.
Thanks so much to Jori for looking after us
in the Costa del Sol, a wonderful relaxing start to our journey.
