In the mountains

We are up in the mountains north west from Malaga just off the A343 just past the railway bridge in a bungalow set amongst a group of five similar properties. We have been here for a week enjoying the fabulous hospitality of Sue and Roy. It is a lovely place with a private pool and views of mountains all around . The picture shows the view towards Alora and the mountain to the right is around 400m above sea level. The town of Alora has very steep streets almost entirely painted white over render to cover what can best be described as poor brickwork. This feels like real Spain with fantastic tapas which only cost 60 to 80 euro cents each up to a maximum of 1 euro 20. We had 15 bowls between 4 of us and it was fantastic.
Tomorrow we are off to Malaga for a few days there.

I miss the dogs

I am laying on the bed cannot sleep and will get up in a minute and join everyone on the pool side. It is lovely here so warm so peaceful so beautiful in the mountains in southern Spain near to Alora. But I do miss the dogs the morning walks that start my day that make everything ok. I am listening to Damien Rice and the album 9 and the song the animals are gone and maybe this is why. The routine each day of feeding the cats the rabbits then the dogs it is such a part of my life now. Anyway until I get home I will join them and enjoy my time here in the mountains.
