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
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.

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, […]
