Thank you, 2021!

Thank you, year 2021, for obliging me (again) to learn to resist, following the voice of my conscience and only that. Thank you to all who have been there, creating positive art and sending me good vibes despite of the circumstances!

I wish you a happy, peaceful, healthy and successful New Year 2022! 

Here two pictures taken today in Antequera (Andalusia, Spain). We had 23 ºC there while the coast was disappearing in the fog. Enjoy!

    I walked up at your place by a picturesque documentary about Jerez. I also told myself to visit in May la Ferie de Jerez.
    Happy New Year, Chani, hope to see you maybe this year. :-)

      It would be fantastic to have you here this year. If you visit Jerez, also try to go to El Puerto de Santa María and Cádiz (those cities are near, easy to reach by train and completely different). There is much to discover in this whole region. And - it would be nice to have you here for dinner with your family. Happy New Year, Kis!

    Wow look at those blue skies - not a cloud in sight! A bit of sunshine here today but the holidays were very dull and grey - mild though and it's now much colder. Back to the drudgery of everyday life! Happy New Year, Chani! xx

      Happy New Year to you too, Zsuzsa! The funniest thing is that we had 5 days of complete fog at the coast, all day, with at least 7-8 degrees less than there, in the mountains. It was worth to drive 60 km to be able to walk under a blue sky!

Coastal towers in Southern Spain

-
Image
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
