Arrival in Spain

Our trip to Spain was long (a problem when using flight points) and we managed to miss a connection in Frankfurt, but -- Kudos to Lufthansa -- they managed to re-book us on another airline a few hours later and miraculously our luggage arrived with us!

We stayed overnight in Madrid where we had a late night tapas feast with wine, and in the morning, a lovely walk, before boarding an afternoon flight to Malaga on the Costa del Sol. Here our very gracious English hosts (whose Spanish vacation home we are using) met us and drove us through the seaside village of Nerja, and then on to our "new home".

The apartment is in a small complex on the fringe of the lovely whitewashed Andalusian village of Frigiliana, just three miles inland from Nerja. It is a "penthouse" (just four floors) with large French windows overlooking a swimming pool and the Frigiliana Valley. There are two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an efficient and well-equipped kitchen, a large living room/dining room and a spacious terrace. Everything is extremely clean and is well decorated in white, blue, orange and yellow. Without a doubt we will be very comfortable here.

Our hosts, Ann and Mike Denny, offered for us to stay an extra week so we will now be "stationed" here until the end of April.
