Just got back home from our weekend travels. Five quick things:
- La Alhambra and La Mezquita lived up to the hype. Stunning.
- If ever in Cordoba, avoid ordering the flamenquin - essentially deep-fried log of pork - and then trying to swim, run or walk afterwards. It will weigh you down like a brick.
- It is deep autumn in the Spanish countryside, and it is lovelier than I imagined.
- A tea house is a good way to spend a rainy afternoon with friends.
- A new place always starts to feel like a home for me the first time I go away for a few days and then come back. Driving into Málaga, feeling the sunshine and the sea breezes after days of chilly rain - it all felt homey this time.
I took the photograph of Granada above early Saturday morning from the balconies of La Alhambra, proving once again that some things occasionally are better than sleep - very occasionally.
Back tomorrow with more pictures and stories.
that picture is....wow.

ReplyDeleteWhere is Jamie sleeping again?
ReplyDelete@Debbie - Haha I know, we are sort of lacking in guest room space - our apartment is a studio and the size of a shoebox! We will have to figure some things out...
