El Último Día

All good things have to come to an end - for a while, anyway- and today is our last day in Spain. Such a lot has happened since we landed in Málaga on 1st December, including 3 weeks in Seville, 'Flipper', Christmas lunch with Greg and Clare, New Years Eve at the Vincii, la Cavalgata in Seville with Rob and Lyn and, of course, our day out in Huelva!

After spending the morning doing chores, we went for lunch at 'Restaurante' (was 'Cafe') Habana and it was perfect. The weather was fantastic with a beautiful blue sky and a calm sea and we ate some wonderful grilled dorada. Afterwards we went onto the beach and Tricia went for a paddle in the sea. The photos give you some idea of the scene. Mike, of course, kept his shoes on and kept on the beach! What a fantastic afternoon it was.












For all those of you who haven't been to La Barrosa, all the above is 5 minutes walk from our house.

We have made an important decision about the configuration of the house and have decided to convert the third bedroon into a study/bedroom/sitting-room with a sofa bed instead of the twin beds. This should give us much more flexibility with our living space whilst retaining the sleeping arrangements.

Tomorrow morning, we are driving the two and a half hours to Málaga airport to catch an afternoon flight back to Birmingham. We hope that you have enjoyed reading our Spanish blog as much as we have enjoyed writing it.

Here's to the next time!

Tricia and Mike
