We are still as fond of Spain as last time I wrote. March is also the perfect time to be here - 20-25 degrees, flowers everywhere and hardly any tourists. There is so much too see here in Andalucia that we could easily fill a month, but as Junias most common phrase in the car is "kommer kräks" (vomit on the way) we try to limit our excurcions to the closest area. We have done some beautiful hiking among olive groves, lambs and old fortresses, and another highlight was Malaga where we spent a day with our home exchange hosts. Our expectations was that it would be a rather touristy place (and from travelling with Mats & co 14 years ago I just remember that the only hotel we could find late at night had battery driven toys and that Anders got pickpocketed). But it is really a beautiful city with so much to see (and eat...) that we need to go back one more day this week. Really recommended! Muchisimas gracias Begona, Pablo y Juan Pablo for showing us all highlights!
Today we went to Africa however. One day organized excursion to Tanger (incl. lunch, guide and "opportunities to buy") was cheaper than just the trip itself, so we went for the whole shebang. No carpets, saffron, kaftan or lamps, but instead two little camels. Beautiful medina (old town) where it would have been nicer to get lost on our own than to be escorded from one opportunity to buy place to another, but hey, it was cheap. And the lunch was good. It was Junia's 17th and Alma's 8th country by the way.
Alma gungar for the first time. Gibraltar (amazing playground by the botanical garden!)
