No rock, brought Turron Duro, which are bars of almonds sandwiched in something which is like a crisp crunchy nougat. And chorizo, loads of chorizo lol And I had loads of tapas, all gorgeous thanks Cass.

No, can't see it from there, but it's a fairly easy drive to Gibraltar from there.   Would really love to go back.

I can't say I'm too into mainland Spain, but southern Spain sounds just perfect !!

reasonable temperatures  at the worst times of year and very cosy indeed around now till August/September !


Not to mention it's geographical position for travelling and popping across to North Africa!!

Yet not too long a flight either!

Sounds divine!

Absolutely was! 2 1/2 hrs from Stansted and then 1 hr on the coach.   Temperatures about 26 day time, 13 night time.

Now I'm off to make that spanish omlette, might be back latter or might crash out!

Not my picture, haven't got them yet, brother took the camera and sending them.  The hotels are on a lovely promenade, places on the beach where they bar-b-q sardines etc, then a circular bus takes you up into the town which is a real Andalucian working town, the food market is amazing, figs the size of big oranges, spices etc.   If I ever go again, going to have an apartment just so I can go and buy food from the market, which is open every day.   Lots of Moorish influences, never go round to seeing half of it, would love to go back.

I didn't hear of one Lovey, but that doesn't mean to say there isn't. Nobody said anything about it though.

Oh no, I think it was a different St Francis...
