Aurora in Granada

We are in the 9 seater van with the McDonnell’s negotiating the narrow one way streets in the old town of Granada. We finally arrive to the car park at the central Mercado just near the Cathedral and find our amazing top floor apartment which has a big terrace with a view of the Cathedral, the Alhambra the the mountains we have just come down from.
Tara, Tony and Joanne are so excited because Aurora is here - the au pair they had for the first 7 years of their life. It is lovely to see what a special relationship she has with the McDonnells.
We have two great days exploring Granada ; highlights included strolling around the Albaicin, going to a trad session in an Irish pub and eating freshly cooked seafood paella from the market on the sunny roof terrace of our apartment.
We drop the Longfordians to the airport in Malaga and have a wander around the old town before we drive back to Cartagena. One by one we start to feel unwell and after positive antigen tests we are confined to the boat for the following week.Read more
