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 […]

Sunday Roast(ing)

Sunday Roast(ing)

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a roast on a Sunday. We’re very spoiled for choice in Didsbury, so it’s not difficult to find somewhere that does the job. But this is what we like when we’re at home, in England, not abroad. Fair-dos if you want a Sunday Roast abroad, especially in certain parts of […]

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 […]

A Return Visit

So, as soon as we arrived back from Los Caracoles, I had to check if a suite was available later in the week, because we’d been so enchanted by out stay here. And, we were in luck! £53 via Booking.com for a suite – living room, double bedroom, large bathroom with corner bathroom and private […]

The Snail Hotel

On a drive high up in the hills above Frigiliana, we spotted some strange pod shaped constructions clinging to a hillside and were immediately intrigued and determined to find out more about them. A conversation with Leanne, owner of Calle Capuchinos 24, and a quick internet search, revealed them to be a very quirky hotel […]

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

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 […]

Nerja

So, thanks to a friend, we’ve managed to get away from walls being smashed down around us as our house/office is refurbished & have found a beautiful piece of Andalucia where we’re currently working – and using as a base to explore Southern Spain. Perfecto! We’re based in Nerja, about 50 km east of Malaga, […]

Escape to the Sun…

So, we’ve done it. A combination of itchy feet and a house still being renovated has meant we’ve packed our bags and headed to Andalucia… A flight to Malaga. A hire car. A friend’s apartment in Nerja (more of which later…). And here we are. Blissful… ¡Salud!
