Malaga

02/07/2016 Written by Helen

Described as “modern contemporary fully furnished apartments right in the heart of the historical Center of Málaga” on the website, Liborio Apartments are perfect for a short stay in this vibrant Andalucian city. Located right in the middle of the historic centre, you couldn’t be better placed for exploring, eating and drinking. Although on a […]

Tarifa, Spain

Tarifa, Spain

Tarifa is a small town in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia, on the southernmost coast of Spain, with over 10 km of sandy beaches. We looped down to Tarifa after a stay in Seville, on our way back to Nerja, taking in a very quick detour to Cádiz, a definite city to revisit. Tarifa is […]

Hotel Casa 1800

Hotel Casa 1800

This hotel has been on my radar for some time. When we stayed in Seville, I was searching for accommodation and the Casa 1800 kept coming up in searches. We stayed elsewhere in Seville but I made a decision that the next time we visited Granada or Seville, we’d stay at 1800. (The hotels are […]

The Andalucian Pods

The Andalucian Pods

We can just never resist a trip to Los Caracoles, whenever we are in the Nerja/Frigiliana area – the “Snail” hotel with pod-like rooms and suites is just super-cute and this time we had amazing weather. In the past we have stayed on a Friday or a Saturday evening and have been able to dine […]

Spring in Frigiliana

Spring in Frigiliana

There can be no more beautiful place to wish you were, on a cold, wet, windy Easter Monday in Didsbury, than Frigiliana. High up in the hills above Nerja, it is everything you imagine a picture-postcard Andalucian white-washed village to be. Houses are blindingly bright in the sunshine, and in spring, the blossoming flowers provide […]

Patio de La Alameda

Patio de La Alameda

Set in a 19th-century palace in the central square of Alameda de Hércules in Seville, Patio de la Alameda is a boutique style hotel, reminiscent of Moroccan riads, with rooms & suites off an internal courtyard. Unsurprisingly, given the short(ish) distance from North Africa, the hotel is very Moorish inspired – like much of Seville. […]

The Snail Hotel

Blogging about Le Dune, reminded me that I hadn’t got round to blogging about our second trip to Los Caracoles, the wonderful pod hotel we discovered, high up in the hills above Nerja, last November. We loved it so much, and were so intrigued by the pod-suites, that we decided to return. And how glad […]

November Sunshine

November Sunshine

As the rain now seems to have arrived and the Andalucian winter seems to be settling in, and thoughts turning to returning home, I thought I’d do a bit of a montage on our beautiful stay in Spain. A real extension to summer 😉 We stayed at Calle Capuchinos 24 in Nerja – which is […]

3 Climates In 1 Day

3 Climates In 1 Day

I’ve often heard people talking about skiing up in the Sierra Nevada in the morning and then sunbathing on the beach in the afternoon – and have always wanted to experience such a contrast. Although it’s early November, Nerja is still warm and when we left mid-morning, the temperature was already creeping up to twenty […]

The Alhambra

The Alhambra

From our base in Nerja, Granada – and therefore The Alhambra – is less than an hour away, and so we couldn’t resist the urge to revisit this amazing Moorish fortress. It is recommended on the official website that tickets are bought in advance, especially in high season, but as we were visiting at the […]

Andalucia

Andalucia

For obvious reasons, there’s no celebrating of 5th November out here in Andalucia. But the absence of a bonfire and fireworks weren’t the only reasons why the 5th November – to me, the real start of winter – seemed a bit odd yesterday. What seemed odd, was spending it on a beach in sunshine that […]

Semana Santa, Seville

Semana Santa, Seville

Easter may be well over now, and it’s a couple of weeks since we returned, but memories of Seville are still burning very, very brightly. We were lucky enough to be there during Semana Santa (Holy Week) and, oh my word! What a spectacle! The week features the processions of pasos – floats of life-like […]
