The goats are a constant feature on daughter's mountain...the goatherder brings as many as 500 up onto the mountain to feed twice a day...these photos was taken by me from the front of the car as we made our way down the mountain... and then as always have to wait patiently until the goats are out onto the road and down the other side ....usually we see half of them in the trees or atop the fincas :D

Love your new photos Holly, the great boats, scenery, animals and of course your grandfurbabies! :love_heart: Your daughter lives in such a pretty area!
 
Holly, thank you for posting these lovely photos of such a beautiful place, they give us a feel of the place......and I agree about the similarities of California's coast and especially the influence of the Spanish.
 
No AC to both questions...yes you can hear them, but overall they are very quiet, they're too busy munching to be making loud noises. They don't come near you unless you choose to walk through the herd in which case they just get out of your way.
 
Thanks Merlin...glad you liked them.. :D looking forward to seeing your pictures, they are always of such a high standard..

In the meantime a few more.. a little bit of shopping...


In the indoor food market in Malaga city ...

Lottery ticket anyone?...The Euro lottery is absolutely huge, the top prize hovers around the 35 million Euro mark...( around £28 million pounds) and there are vendors on every street corner..even in the most remote of villages

Regarding your photos on page 1 of the seaside village of Mijas Pueblo
(I'm a little late to your thread. I'll enjoy catching up) :) :

These are all amazing and you indeed have a photographic eye!
I'm particularly struck by the uncluttered cleanliness of the village, and the
sharp contrast of color saturated objects against white walls and blue sky and sea.
Looking forward to the rest!
 
Thank you very much Lara, I'm taking that as a huge compliment from such an accomplished artist as yourself :D

However I must take time to point out that Mijas village is entirely separate from Mijas Pueblo...the former where the pictures were taken is a mountainous old style white typically Spanish village, whereas Mijas Pueblo is instead a far spreading housing urbanisation close to the sea. .. :D
 
What a nice little shopping area. Love that little food market! That looks like quite a comfortably well off town, not wealthy rich rich, but seems to be doing very good business. Thanks for those lovely snapshots of life there, holly.
 
The food market is quite large Cookie, that was just one aisle..it's in the centre of Malaga city :D

The pictures of the lottery (Once) seller is also in Malaga city but in the back streets in the cafe and bar area..

The Farmacia was taken in one of the city centre streets in malaga city..

The photos of the Nuns were taken in the seaside town of Torremolinos..
