Our Spanish adventure begins We spent three glorious weeks in SPAIN ( January 31 to February 21, 2004 ). We stayed in an apartment in Torremolinos which was right across the street from the Playamar Beach. While in Spain we visited many wonderful cities and towns such as Malaga, Granada,Frigiliana, Marbella, Mijas and even went on an adventure to Tangiers, Morocco. So sit back and relax and I will take you on our Spanish adventure.
I have also included some places we visited during our trip to Spain March 12 to March 27, 2001
During that vacation, we visited Ronda, Fuengirola, Estepona, Ojen, Coin, Nerja, Puerto Banus and Mijas. |
|  | SPAIN -- BATHED BY THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA Spain is situated in southwestern Europe. It occupies a great portion of the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. Its territory also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean near the African Coast and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla across the Mediterranean on Morocco's coast. |
OUR LATEST TRIPS TO SPAIN We have just returned from our fourth trip to Spain. We stayed for four weeks this time, from January 9 to February 8, 2006. We again had an apartment at the Sol Principito in Torremolinos, as I feel comfortable there and know where everything is. It's also an excellent location for transportation and you can pretty well get anywhere from here. Plus it's a short 15 minute drive from the airport.
Again, we were very busy during this trip. The highlight was our day trip to Sevilla, one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. We took a bus tour there.
Among the other places we visited was Cartama, a sleepy little village. We went there with Hans' brother Wim, who drove from Portugal to visit us. We also went to Mijas with Wim and again later with our Hotel Gang.
Of course we had to go to Fuengirola for its flea market, the largest on the Costa del Sol.
And thanks to our good friends Carmen ( Carmela71 ) & Stace ( Beachdog ), we got to really see Malaga, Marbella, Antequera and El Torcal.
Update: January 27 to February 18, 2009
Hans and I just returned from yet another trip to Spain. We again stayed at Apartamentos Bajondillo. We really like it there and is now "our place" for our winter getaway.
This time was different though in that we did not go on any tours - just relaxed, went for daily walks, read four books - all in all very enjoyable.
We did get to see our friends, Carmen, Stace and Sandra (Sunday, Feb. 1), as Hans and I took the bus to Marbella and spent the afternoon with our dear friends.
We did do the walk to Benalmadena one sunny afternoon. Spent the whole time walking, snooping in shope, having an ice-cream sundae. The weather was so nice, a lot of the locals were out and about too. And as is our custom, we visited Mijas for the day.
A nice surprise was that Hans' sister Nel and hubby Jean came to Torremolinos for a week and stayed at Bajondillo too. We were able to get them a room 3 doors down from ours. It was sooo nice to be able to spend some time with them. | | | Plaza de Espana in Sevilla |
