Today Emilie and I took the car to Puerto Banús. It is a harbour type area in Marbella which is about a 20 minute drive from where we are staying. I was looking for some swim trunks, but the place we found had them starting at 190 euros.... um, NO THANKS!
We continued down the port to Jack's Smokehouse and had a nice burger lunch on the sea. Afterwards we walked the pier which was about halfRead more
SpainGestern sind wir mit Gerrit Jan und Joke weiter gefahren nach Estepona. Am Abend haben wir uns das Spanien Spiel in einem Irish Pub in der Stadt angeschaut. Heute sind wir Abends nach Marbella gefahren. Die Stadt ist sehr gepflegt. Es gibt viele kleine Gassen mit Läden. Außerdem gibt es einen Hafen für große Yachten, ein Stückchen außerhalb des Zentrums, den wir aber nicht angeschaut haben.Read more

We had a scenic drive today from Ronda to Marbella. After a short stop at the Hard Rock Cafe in Marbella we explored the downtown of the city. In the city there was a big festival with lots of music, food and flamenco dancers.
Auf dem Weg von Ronda nach Marbella sind wir mitten durch die Berge Andalusiens gefahren. Kurz bevor wir dann dir Küste erreicht haben, konnten wir sogar einen erstenRead more
SpainWe found a shopping center and bought some things we needed, a cooler and freezer packs, and conditioning shampoo. It was hard to find the combination, but then I saw 2X1 on the label and figured out that was it—there was only one choice. We could not find peanut butter even though it is a big store similar to Walmart. We found a casino and exchanged currency, even though, surprisingly, theRead more
DeanandLindasTravelsYes, that is going better than a lot of other things! Thanks so much!
Bruce ErichsenDean??????? Flamingo dancing????? Boy do I wish I could’ve seen that ....... just how many wineries did you visit???? Brahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DeanandLindasTravelsActually, we were given a free bottle of wine that night, and you know Dean does not like anything to go to waste!
SpainWe finally reached our timeshare exchange in Marbesa. We have a condo on the third floor so we can see the Mediterranean Sea from our balcony! Thank goodness there is an elevator! We enjoyed dinner and a Spanish wine on the balcony, celebrating our gladness to stay in one place for a week. We are still learning how to take a selfie--it takes both of us!
Sherri ClarkHow fun! We are enjoying your blogs! Sounds like you had a rather rough start, but things are going more smoothly now! Thank goodness you are enjoying your trip and we are happy to be home as it was 105 yesterday in Phoenix, AZ!
SpainAfter bidding our host good-bye, we drove to the southern coast. It was a beautiful drive of about 6 hours, and we saw olive groves the whole way! The land changed from slightly hilly to more hilly and then mountainous as we neared the coast. Some of those olive trees are a long ways up the mountainsides. We can’t figure out how they are harvested! We also saw lots of flowers, includingRead more
SpainWell it's a lot nicer than I expected probably helped by the fact that we are very out of season so the place isn't very busy but neither is it deserted. the waterfront is as you would imagine, full of high rise buildings but the hill/mountainous backdrop is impressive photo 1, but the old town with its narrow winding streets and green plazas is very easy to enjoy, photos 4, 5 &6. Photos 2&3 areRead more

Now WiFi is up and running I can post some pics!!
Surprisingly all three mini Mackies did very well on the flight. The apartment is lovely and very comfy beds. Managed a wee paddle at the beach yesterday morning. Lewis spent the whole time throwing stones in the sea and Ross complaining about anything and everything, sky is too blue or the sea is too wet!! He did cheer up though and had a wee dipRead more

Von Alhama de Granada fuhr ich eine schmale Bergstraße wieder Richtung Málaga und schließlich nach Hause.
Es war eine wunderschöne Fahrt und ich konnte mich gar nicht satt sehen an dem lieblichen Gebiet.
Der Übergang von den Provinz Granada zur Provinz Málaga ist mit einem tiefen Gebirgseinschnitt sehr markant.
