Really nice looking place, Holly, looks like a perfect holiday getaway. Interesting that the streets are rather empty, maybe it was the crack of dawn or siesta time? LOL Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures.

Couldn't resist this little cute pooch looking out over his first floor Balcony in the tiny village of Mijas..:cool:

Great shots, Holly. :D Many of them almost look like they could have been taken in California coastal towns. The vegetation and some architecture is similar and, of course, the Spanish influence.

It looks very peaceful looking with no hustle and bustle -- holly, don't mind me, I'm so accustomed to living in a big city with people everywhere, that anything otherwise, seems odd to me. But that would be a real treat to be in such a nice relaxing place.
 
Holly, I am impressed with the cleanliness of the country. No litter all around, no graffiti all over. If anyone confused Spain with Mexico one only needs look at these photos after having been to Mexico.
 
Thank you all.:D Yes cookie I understand and like any other country the cities of Spain are very crowded too..

Glinda excuse my geographical ignorance but I didn't realise that California had a big Spanish influence, I've learned something new today :D

Yes Jim and Annie for a country that's hugely popular with tourists it's surprising just how clean it's kept. The street cleaning trucks come out morning and night and the Trash carts come out every day and empty all the household waste.

That said, there are some very run down areas of Spain..including graffiti.

Yes, Holly, I lived in southern California for a couple years and there is indeed a very large Spanish/Hispanic influence.
 
The names are a clue -- Los Angeles, San Diego, San Franscico, San Bernardino, San Jose -- the list goes on and on. California borders Mexico -- there you go.
 
Thanks AC I didn't know that.:D

Cookie I have never been to the USA or North America, my geographic knowledge really Apart from the large cities such as NY and Washington, Boston etc.. .. amounts to very little. I wouldn't necessarily know that San Diego, San Bernardino or San Jose was in California it could be in any state of the USA as far as I know..but thanks for extending my geographic knowledge always appreciated. :)
 
Amazing, holly, you really have included a good variety of places. Those little grottos are lovely.

No criticism at all intended. Just some lighthearted kidding ....no one knows it all, we are all learning every day.
 
Holly, I am just now seeing your pictures. Wow, what a treat! I have never seen a picture more beautiful than the one with the man and woman on the beach. I snagged it. I have a hat exactly like the one you are wearing on the bench. The only difference is the color of the ribbon.
 
Shirley thank you muchly, I'm glad you enjoyed them. I spotted that beach shot as we walked down the board-walk with the family..and I hung back and took the photo as they all walked on. I just thought it looked soo beautiful. Everyone who's seen it loves it ..:D I'm off work over the weekend so I'll put some more on if I get the chance..
 
Hope others will go to top of page "Rate this thread" and give it the excellent rating it deserves. A small way of thanking Holly for all her time and work!
