Un Viaje Corto

 Celebrate - our Leigh on Sea building work is almost finished!

After living with builders since May we need a short, wonderful break. Meeting with friends, tapas, music and sea. Where on earth are we?



Visit to the La Herradura international classical guitar competition. Breathtaking skills, wonderful music.


Malaga Christmas Lights - we always try to see these when we're here; this year they feature a high tech drone show....



A great visit indeed - always uplifting.

Before we head back to the UK, we take the Spanish Ka to a local Ford dealer to have a new remote key progammed in because I lost the last one on a mountain walk. The process takes a couple of hours apparently. After spending that time (enjoyably) in Velez-Malaga, we find out that the wrong remote has been sent - Grrr. A job for February then. The Ka gets lots of admiration from the dealership, though - we've had it 12 years and it still looks pretty much like new.

In any event, we fly back to London Stansted at the end of the week so, after watching Spain lose to Morocco by penalties, we head to the Balcon to join the Nerja throngs watching the Christmas lights being switched on.

 Obviously, we have to pop into the Bar Redondo for a vino and tapa before catching the late town bus up the hill to home. 

A final walk with our group, hugs, goodbyes....

(Only 7 of us today but 6 nationalities!)


....and then I guess it's clearing up and packing away. This feels more like an uplifting holiday than the home where, until very recently, we spent most of our non travelling time. 

See you soon, Nerja.
