My Lager!

Sunday 30th December 2018 - Torre del Mar.

It feels like we have been at this site for a long time....but it is good.  We made a good choice booking this site as it is pleasantly out of Torre which is a lovely resort.  We are half way between Nerja and Malaga with some smaller resorts enroute.  We have enjoyed the cycling.

Yesterday we cycled into Malaga.  The weather was super in the morning.

This photo was taken at Malaga harbour, the ship is called the Anne Bonney and the Alcazaba is in the background.  We know a person called Anne Bonney who was a police woman at Kendal.

We enjoyed the atmosphere around the harbour and basked in the sunshine.  There was a young band playing with a saxophonist.  They played instrumentals but I was amazed to hear them play a jazzy version of Jethro Tull's 'Locomotive Breath'.  We were later shopping and heard a piped music version of Andy Stewart singing 'Auld Lang Syne', that felt like we were living in the past!

On the way into (and out of) Malaga we passed lovely beaches, nice promenades and wonderful smelling seafood restaurants.  All seemed to be grilling fish on drift wood barbecues.

We managed to resist the temptation vowing to have a meal out on Sunday.  The food seemed to be really good value and the locals were out in force.  The weather turned in the afternoon and became cloudy and rather windy, so we headed for home.

After such a long bike ride...against the wind we were ready for something to quench our thirsts.......that when we had.....

(Wait for it....)

My Lager!       Because it sounds like Malaga, or at least the way it is pronounced on our sat nav!

Today was another lovely, sunny morning that became a little breezy in the afternoon....but still sunny.  We had a walk on the beach and enjoyed the large waves.

We did some shopping and then went into Torre for the Sunday meal out we had promised ourselves.  Not surprisingly we opted for the fishy menu.

The restaurant was right on the beach and although it was windy it was wonderful.

Grilled sardines and prawns in a red curry sauce followed by a main course of moules and frites.....plenty of garlic involved.....mmm!  We got back to the van in double quick time, blown by the wind, for a nice snoozy afternoon.
