Location
London England
Andalucia.. includes Malaga, and surrounding towns, cities and beaches.

We usually stay with my daughter in her guest cottage but she had other people staying, so we rented a beautiful penthouse apartment on a Golf Complex

Just random photos from my trip....

This is a house on my daughter's land in the mountains...

Your daughter is fortunate to wake up to that vista every morning. Thanks for sharing these awesome photos with us. The food must be exceptional.
 
Thanks Pinky.:cool:..yes it's a little piece of heaven on daughters' (her name) mountain (that's what we call it).... ..and yes the food is amazing!!

On the mountain DD has 5 acres, much of it Almond groves. She grows citrus fruits trees, lemons, oranges and Cherries... and she has her own organic veggie plot, so the food for her is fantastic...

Also of course the Spanish food in southern Spain is generally good especially the fish which is freshly caught... and bought at the markets.. along with the locally picked tomatoes, almonds, Olives etc.!..and so much less expensive than here...

English food is very good, it's a tale left over from the war days when American soldiers came over here when everything was on serious ration, and found the food disgusting compared to what they were used to... but almost 75 years on, things have changed greatly in that time. :D

Holly, if you know, what is the name of that beautiful red flower at the golf course? Looks like a Hibiscus.

You're absolutely right it is Hibiscus, PVC... :cool:


Some flowers I did see for the first time, on the golf course, were these, and I don't know what they are..they're beautiful but maybe someone else will know..

It's such a beautiful place Jim, you would be bound to have loved it.. !! ocean, mountains, cities, villages all within easy reach!!

In those WW2 days my kin who were in London came home and described the food as BLAND but I never heard disgusting. I'm sure today food there is great.

Misplaced reply...still trying new format...

Bland, disgusting..scarce. all descriptions I've read about in History books. Now our Chefs and restauranters are some of the best in the world ( I believe even one of our Top Chefs Gordon ramsey has to go out and sort out some restaurants in the USA, they're soo bad) LOL>.. .. and although many people our age grew up on fairly bland food like meat and veggies boiled within an inch of their lives, if our parents were to return , they'd be astonished at the difference in the quality and quantity compared to back in the 50's and 60's...
