Walking trees in Velez!

At each end of a small tree-lined walkway near the town centre of Velez-Malaga, known as the Paseo de Andalucía, are what we generally call the “Walking trees” and they are certainly worth a look.

Day trip to Alhama de Granada

This lovely town is totally trapped in time!  It still has very old fashioned little shops and lovely, crumbling buildings that look more central European than Southern Spanish!  Perched precariously on steep, deep ‘tajo’ (gorge), this is a most ‘visitable’, picturesque town, frequented by walking groups and curious tourists and well worth a day trip.

If you are visiting Southern Spain, the wonderful, inspiring and once-in-a-lifetime experience that is a visit to Granada’s glistening jewel, the Alhambra Palace, MUST be on your list!  And much, much more besides in this fascinating and ancient city.

Chiringuito Beach BarsChiringuitos de la playa

The Costa del Sol is famous for its beach bars, known here as Chiringuitos.  They are well worth trying out, and vary from simple barbequed sardines to meat on skewers, to simply chill-out bars. La Costa del Sol es famoso por sus chiringuitos en la playa.  Muchos de ellos merecen la pena probar, y varían desde simplemente ‘espetos’ de sardinas (6 en un palo) hasta brochetas de carne, todo tipo de mariscos y bares tipo chillout.
