Lots of British and German folk so turkey dinner for Xmas!
It's just great being in Nerja...so warm and relaxing although I don't think we'll be swimming. Went wading and a bit chilly. Sat at a beachside restaurant and drank red wine in the sun instead then wandered back to our hotel which is overlooking a square and even has a bit of a seaview and watched the sunset while drinking scotch and listening to loads of birds congregating in the plane trees in the square before they settled down for the night. A great location and we really love the feel of this little place...reminds us of Carqueirrane a bit when we had our place in the port watching the comings and goings and the view.
We haven't been doing much but sitting in the sun by the sea,drinking red wine or beer and eating. We had a great paella Tuesday in our favouite seaside restaurant. It was really great to get this wonderful weather in Nerja as yesterday (Wed) when we left for Malaga it was actually raining and also raining and dull in Malaga so didn't get a great impression of Malaga initially but it did brighten up and we've done some interesting wandering here in Malaga and will head to the Picasso Museum and perhaps visit the inside of the Cathedral here...magnificent on the outside.
Weve been very impressed with the prices in Spain for hotels, food and drinks. A glass of red wine or a beer pretty much anywhere is around three dollars. We paid about $36 for the paella for two...wonderful huge gambas (prawns) along with smaller prawns, clams, mussels, squid, sea bass. A black cat came up to us while we were eating the paella and meowed mournfully so of course got a bit. He or she seemed quite content after that and slept beside us in the sun. Loads of cats in Nerja...I counted 9 in the major square called Balcon de Europa. Someone had left them a bag of treats so they were in heaven either eating or lying in the sun. Elaine, you would have loved it!
We were feeling no pain after our paella so went for a teeter-totter...can't give people the royal bumps on these ones! Then watched some Germans enjoying their game of petanque.
