    Amunecar Market

    On 4 May we went to the Friday market in Almenucar – a very Spanish affair selling a mixture of cheap and cheerful with locally produced more interesing stuff (mainly clothing). Apparently on Sundays they have a flea market (watch out for future posts on this!)

    Sierra Nevada

    Sierra Nevada. On 7 May we took a spin up in to the mountains to Sierra Nevada where although the skiing season had all but ended, there was still snow and even a skier!

    La Katena, Motril Port

    A pleasant two and a half hour walk from Salobrena via el campo and then along the beach. We passed a nice beach area with parking – Playas del Delta del Guadalfeo and eventually past a fine brutalist church.

    Iglesia Santa Josepfina Bakhita

    This time being a Sunday and the Festival of Crosses, La Katena was crammed and hectic, thus a long wait and average food.  Much better last time.

     

    Not happy at having to wait so long!

    A lot happier once we’d moved to a sunnier table and the food had arrived.

    Hotel Victoria

    Observe Gill by the cross in the background!

    A nice family run hotel on C/Mediterrano where we had breakfast on 6 May 2018. They had made a cross for the Festival of the Crosses.

     

    Playa Burriana, Nerja

    Day trip to Nerja.  Car parking available up near the Parador at Parking Carabeo in C/Prol. Hernando de Carabeo above  Play Burriana where there are loads of beachfront cafes for grilled sardines eg Restaurante Merendero Moreno and also the world’s best icecream shop near by.  Had supper at Playa Y Sol which was overpriced, full of Brits and nothing special.

    Bar Pesetas

    4 May 2018 pub crawl

    This is the third bar in our pub crawl.  the Bubble Bim and Bomic bar (Ruth!).  Last time in November we sat at the bar but this time we sat upstairs on the covered terrace.  The food was excellent.
