Granada, Roquetas de Mar, Nerja…

weekend #28 photos
This is 4th part of our Spanish trip.
We spent one night in Granada, near Alhambra.
It was breathtaking beautiful…huge bridges, high mountains…
but hot and we missed the sea breath.
Back to the coast.
Roquetas de Mar was not a place for us.
On the road again…
Balcón de Europa in Nerja, Spain
We found ourselves looking for a place to stay over night.
We had bad luck. We chose the hotel by the beach.
It should have 4 stars but in our opinion it didn’t.
We had a better room and service in a hostal with one star!!!
Plus a guy, guest, came to our room when I was naked going to have a shower. argh!
Prices in Nerja are a little bit higher than in Malaga.
It was impossible to find a parking place for our car.
I noticed from TripAdvisor that we’re not alone.
Some other quests say that this is not a four star hotel!
BUT Nerja is a beautiful place.
Next morning back to Malaga…
Actually this was shot before Nerja – you see how many kilometers it’s to Malaga 
We found a four star hotel with a small pool in the center of Malaga,
10e cheaper than Perla Marina.
Time to have a drink!
Pacharan with coffee beans and ice by BLOGitse
Pacharan is perfect end for a dinner or to have with solo or cortado. Cheers!
“Patxaran in Basque, or Pacharán in Spanish is a liqueur that originally made from the
blackthorn or sloe berries that grow wild in Navarra, a region in the north of Spain.”

Onko se itse Pablo?
Granadan maisemat ovat huikeita, sinne haluaisin joskus palata. Ne tiet, pudotukset!
Nerjassa kävin myös samalla reissulla silloin aikanaan. Rondassa, Lanjaronissa…miten voi edelleen muistaa paikkojen nimiä, vaikka matkasta on yli 20 vuotta!

I like how you combined the photos over the road map – a cool effect! The interior of Spain looks dry and hot, I would get back to the water ASAP. As for the hotel, don’t people even knock on the door before entering any more??

I love how you incorporated the maps with the images-seems complicated to do, but very effective to the viewer!
Those strawberries looks like they will be delicious!

I don’t know that guy or if I would want to stay in the place hanging off the rock. Love the red, black and white in the shadow shot.
The strawberry shadows look ALMOST as good as the fruit!

What a great trip! And it looks like you’ll have lots of pictures to remember it by. You should make a photo book of the adventure.

The maps in the background is an awesome idea! What program did you use to do that?
Wayne recently posted..Sundays in My City
I love the maps incorporated within the pictures. Ingenious! Keep these coming. I am loving the tour of Spain.
Had a great comment in mind until I saw the strawberries.. now all I can think of is – YUM!

It has been 30 years since I have been in that area – wow have things changed, thank you for the trip down memory lane – your shots are wonderful. However, I may never leave your site – my mouth is drooling at the Pacharan, I think I will just sit a while -stare and dream.

I like strawberries. I have strawberries in my garden but here their season ended more than a month ago
Have a nice evening, my dear!
