Life and living
in Southern Spain by David Robson.
The adventure
begins - 9
Rather than 'hot
footing it' out of town, we stayed for the day to explore.
Our original plan had
included "keeping a score sheet".
This consisted of a
small notebook containing brief details and descriptions of towns /
villages / areas, visited, PLUS a score out of 10.
Upto visiting
Almuņecar, the highest score had been 4 - on first impressions this looked
like it could be a 8 or 9 at least.
We liked the
atmosphere, we were besotted by the old town's narrow winding streets
filled with interesting little shops and bustling people.
The street cafes and
bars were great for people watching.
The sun was shining -
what more would anyone want? - it was difficult not to call off the rest
of the plan and stay there, but we were determined to 'check out the
rest'.
Reluctantly, we
decided to carry on and head east.
But we decided to
schedule a return visit of at least two days.
We wanted to sample
the sites, the beach, the restaurants, the cafes and the coffee, not to
mention the food, and the people.
Plus, of course, we
wanted to look in the estate agent windows and get a feel for property and
prices. Up, up and away!
