Amazing Andalucia

The White Village of Comares

Spending last week in Andalucia, Spain still feels like a dream. We rented a villa on a mountain near Comares, an old "white village," where it was like stepping back in time. We had decided that we wanted to do something different than a city break, and have some more time at the beach and on the trails, which was exactly what this week was. We shared our time between hiking the hills around our villa, wandering the old village streets, spending a few days at the Coast, an urban day in Granada, and just hanging out by the pool. We had fires and played games at night and enjoyed the sun during the days. I made flan!

We had an amazing time exploring some of the smaller villages, checking out Granada, and hanging out at the Costa del Sol. It was just such a different atmosphere to the UK, and we all had fun practicing our Spanish and seeing new sights.
