Andalucia - Mijas

One of the steep narrow streets in Mijas, not the easiest place to get about...
... but well worth the trip up into the hills to see this beautiful white washed village!

Unusual Bendy Tree!

This unusual tree can be seen in Lloret de mar outside the chicken restaurant 'La Campana'
weaving in and out of the metal grill on the window!

Costa Brava Sky

This photo is just how the sky looked over Fenals at 5.30pm this evening.
It has been like this for the last 2 nights, looking very stormy but the weather has been very good for the time of year!
Daytime temps have been 22º.

Feeding Time!

The fish in Benalmadena Marina being fed... one of the cafes sell bags of dry bread for 1€ so you can feed the fish!

Granada, Malaga or Seville?

Which way shall we go now?

Costa Brava Rally 55...2007

One of the cars taking part in this week ends rally, just going through the final check!!

Girona

The city of Girona is very underrated and too often overlooked as a place you 'would like to visit'! I must admit when I first decided to go have a look round a couple of years ago, I didn't expect to see the sights I came across!

From the bridges over the River Onyar you can see the medieval houses along the banks.

Then as you cross to the other side its just a maze of beautiful narrow streets which is known as the Jewish quarter.

So if you are visiting Catalonia at any time don't just fly in and back out of Girona, go have a look for yourself you wont be disappointed!!

Market Day in Lloret de Mar

The meat and cheese on sale in Lloret de Mar Tuesday street market,

making a very colourful picture...walking past the display makes you want to have a taste of
everything on sale !!

Three views of Castle Bil Bil in Benalmadena.

Mijas Slideshow

Up in the hills over looking Fuengirola is the small white washed village of Mijas, easily reached by the local bus service. To live here it is said you must agree to paint the outside of your property every year to keep the village looking brilliantly white at all times!

Benalmadena Marina - At night

Benalmadena Marina at night...a nice place to have a meal or just sit and have a drink while looking out over the boats. There's a good choice of restaurants to choose from, from Chinese to Steak houses.

Marbella - Old Town

Marbella is usually known for designer shops and flashy cars. Here is a very different view which many tourists wont see!

A very different view to what I normally like to publish of Lloret de Mar! Here we have the the bright lights and packed streets.
On the main street of Just Marles its just night club after night club....Not my favorite view!!

Granada - The Alhambra

The Alhambra is located high on a hill overlooking Granada. Untill you step through the gates there is absolutely no clues as to the beautiful views you will see inside. Here is a musical photo slideshow to give you a short tour.

Costa del Sol - Alora

Views of the very steep street's and country side.
