Boxing day doesn’t exist in Spain. Come the 26th December, life goes back to normal, more or less. We had planned a mini break away as soon as Christmas Day was over; a relaxing few days away in the stunning Natural Park, Sierra de Cazorla...
It has been a while since we posted an 'In Pictures' post so here is a quick catch up...
Last week, Andrew and I got to drive deep into Las Alpujarras, one of our favourite parts of southern Spain to interview Anna Kemp about her life and most recent project, an open air theatre in the village of Laroles, and runs the annual drama festival, Me Vuelves Lorca...
Sunday was Andrew’s Birthday, and it is probably fair to say that we both felt a little bit jaded on that morning. We didn’t drink that much, but the effects are amplified in the heat unless alcohol is accompanied by litres of water!
An important ingredient is missing from this account. This weekend in Madrid also happened to coincide with Andrew's 42nd Birthday (I know; he's very old)...
Neither Andrew nor I had ever been to Madrid before, and this city was most definitely on our ‘wish list’ for this year in Spain. It just so happened that 2017 saw Madrid hosting World Pride so it seemed sensible to combine the two!
The Cabo de Gata area is not large. That said, the coastline is dotted with many, many beaches and coves, and it would be impossible to explore them all over the course of just 1 or 2 days...but we gave it a pretty good shot!
Lunch in Tabernas was not successful. For some reason, the tapas we had (Chorizo) tasted of fish, so we didn’t linger...
