We are in Madrid, ready to fly to the US tomorrow, so this is our last posting. We loved the Sierra de las Nieves and its villages and are heading home full of appreciation for all the people who helped us out in various ways.
We took the train to get to the Malaga airport this morning. It turned out to be a good choice because, although the elevator wasn’t running at 8:30 AM, it was an easy walk to get to the train station. (And I didn’t have to face riding up in that exposed elevator tower.)
Here in Madrid, we have a nice little apartment for the night right across from a park in the casco histórico of Barajas. We will be able to cook supper tonight and breakfast tomorrow before we leave, and we are going home with clean clothes thanks to the washing machine here. The flight we are taking tomorrow left 6.5 hours late today; let’s hope it does better tomorrow. It flies directly over Santiago de Compostela and we have window seats on the side with that view.
Many thanks to those of you who have been on this journey with us.Read more
