Que Podemos hacer? What can you do (near Mijas)

-








On face value this trip is in one place but we want to regularly get out and about from our base between Fuengirola and Mijas; in one weeks time we will be having our first adventure of the year.  Loosely following in the shoes of the magnificent 7 on their Spanish job in the second series of Auf Pet (we did Dusseldorf a few years back) it is now time to draw up a hit list of jaunts around the costa del crime.  Provisional itinerary below based on initial thoughts, but all is up for debate and days picked arbitrarily as we focus first on potential activities.

Expect the usual nonsense commentary from me with a few pointed political references (we are after all ambassadors of our failing country and reaching out to our true global friends) and plenty of sense from my partner in crime Carys. We will both look to find our true expat villain alter ego, Ally Fraser and Kenny Ames our fictional mentors.

With 1 week to go, it seems like it's coming so fast, and feels like only days ago we were sat around the table eating dinner, talking about which places we fancied exploring next year (this actually happened in around September time, I think.) I've been buzzing about this holiday since I decided to take Spanish for one of my 3 GCSE choices - along with History and Art - as I realised this might be a way I can practise what I know about the Spanish language, and learn more about the language and culture (and food - yum) of Espana. I've also taken on the role as 'lead translator' as the only person out of the four of us who chose to study Spanish rather than French at any stage of 'higher education'. I'm not too sure how good my Spanish is though, but I guess this holiday will test me.

That's all for now, and thanks for joining us on our holiday to Spain!

    Not sure how I missed your Spanish trip. Especially as I was in Nerja, just down the road, at the same time. Though that may be why, I was cutting down on social media while enjoying Spanish sun and food.

    Still I'm catching up with it now, while waiting for the next exciting episode of the current blog.

Getting into a bit of scrape

(Lloyd) the joy of getting out and about means you are playing a game of risk and reward, today we were more than a little burnt for our risk. Not mugged as many of our readers seemed to predict (not sure where that had come from although it turns out Chrissi has got a bit of form in Spain), well not in the conventional sense, that will come later when Avis do their worst, and bill us for the fairly sizeable marks on our brand spanking new mercedes.  Manuel was quite a clumsy waiter, Wayne Norris used to get into scrapes, and always seemed to get out of them. So today we'll go with the Manuel suggestion. Perhaps it can change daily.  Keep 'em coming! Great run this morning, such a brilliant way to explore new territory.  The serious runner (Bryn) doesn't need to train like the rest of us so Chrissi, Carys and I made our way down, down, down into Fuengirola.  Mazed our way through the early morning streets, well reasonably early, hadn't woken up until 8am ourselve...

Walking on Airbnb (plus Trains, Planes and Automobiles)

Another great trip with a whole week via an Air Bnb this time. Very impressed with everything about our little home away from home on this trip and proved a perfect launch for all our action and adventure.  Third time we have gone Air Bnb and feel it really does offer an immersive experience, falling into the lifestyle of the locale much more easily.  Give it a go if you get the chance, both you and I would get a credit here www.airbnb.com/c/lloydw621 In terms of this particular venue, the link on the side of the blog would be pretty easy to follow and book should you ever want to explore the Mijas area as we have done! Packed up our stuff, and endeavoured to leave the place as we had found it, before driving the short route to Plaza Mayor.  Chrissi had done a bit of detective work and found we could park the car in the shopping centre and catch the train into Malaga for a bit of a mooch around. We duly did this and stumbled upon an even big...
