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.

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
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 […]
3 Climates In 1 Day

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
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
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 […]
