Back in Iznájar

-
Finally, we are now allowed to move between Andalusian provinces (not yet to travel to other parts of Spain - this will be possible from June 21). We went straightway to our beloved Iznájar, just on the other side of the provincial border, in Cordoba. 
Again, we enjoyed walking around the freshwater lake, looking at the olive orchards, discovering flowering artichokes and thistles. In the morning and evening, we had to hug our big friends ;-)

    It's good that you're allowed to travel around a bit - but I think Spain is crazy allowing all these tourists in, especially from the UK. I just hope there won't be a second spike of Covid! Those dogs look adorable! Hope you're keeping well Chani - I haven't been around much - just too busy these days! xx

      Thanks, Zsuzsa. Yes, those big dogs were so friendly! They recognized us from last year.
      About Covid etc., I do not know any longer what is crazy and what is wise. We all hope that the situation will remain stable, but I think Spain had no choice: many people here make their living of tourism, many did not earn one cent from March 15th, so the country *had* to reopen urgently after this long lockdown in order not to generate another disaster or riots... Poverty, anger and depression also kill, and some people will die because their operations have been postponed or they do not dare to go to their GP at the moment. I try to enjoy every day if possible and not to think too much about all that... In fact, I think the whole world is in shock.

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-

There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
