Jeannie arrived safely at last, & very gamely joined us on several long mountain treks. She proved extremely observant, being the first to spot a metre long green snake (that we could not identify), a black squirrel climbing up a quarry face, & a very long procession of caterpillars (on a pavement in Nerja!)
We all enjoyed, at the local Cultural Centre, a performance of two classical guitarists, in the style of Segovia. We have no idea what pieces they played as there was no programme, & they only spoke Spanish.
It has been very windy from the east this week, resulting in crashing surf washing away some of the beach. It has brought out the entertaining kite-surfers. Rows of house-martins are sheltering on the window cills of our apartment block.
Their were 5 of us for Sunday lunch at Chiringuito Breine (a local beach restaurant) on the west side of Nerja. As we tucked into paella it began to RAIN!!! Undeterred, our waiter hauled an enormous sun parasol to our table, covering us all amply. We carried on regardless, consuming as much as we could eat, 2 bottles of wine & coffees for approximately 9 pounds a head.
Spanish lesson again tomorrow - more 'somes'!
