weekend #41 photos en Málaga, España

 ¡Hola! a todos!

Huh, I didn’t remember studying language is so hard work.

New words, new grammar…every day.

BUT. I like it!

I can manage in shops etc. even if my grammar is awful (like my English!)

I think it’s important to communicate -

we all do mistakes and there is no perfect human being!

Exploring back alleys in Málaga you can see this kind of art

I shot these pics on Thursday.

It was sunny but suddenly when I walked back home

I got wet, it was raining hard but not for a long time.

It took 1 hour 40 mins to walk.

I had a heart rate monitor on.

74 minutes was between my heart rate target zone.

Today I feel slim

The weather was perfect to shoot city shadows!

In Finland some people wash their carpets every summer.

I googled ‘mattopyykillä’ (washing carpets) – almost 3.000 pictures here.

Would you like to have dinner up there?

On the way back home we listened a minute of these musicians

His cajón was made of cardboard – the sound was pretty good!

LONG

“Hartwall Original Long Drink is a crisp mixed drink that blends the refreshing taste of gin with the tang of grapefruit.

The beverage was launched for the Helsinki Olympics in 1952

with an eye on lightening the workloads of restaurant

staff as they served Olympic tourists.

The ready-mixed, bottled Long Drink was such a big hit among Finns that

the company decided to keep it on the market.”

This is 4th part of our Spanish trip.

Previous posts >>> 1., 2., 3.

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.”

Have a relaxing weekend!

Yesterday morning was cloudy – a perfect time for picking strawberries!

It was only 25 minutes drive from Helsinki.

“strawberry fields forever”

I got 3 kilos (6.61386 lb)  in less than an hour.

yummy, yummy!

Strawberry season lasts till the end of July.

A couple of minutes drive and we had coffee in this idyllic place – Kaisankoti.

‘The history of Manor Spa Kaisankoti dates back to the 17th century,

when four separate horse estatesoperating in Pakankylä merged into one.

The manor was purchased by Anders Kurtèn in 1757.’

Imagine a sunny day, laying on a beach bed, listening birds singing and trees buzzing…

How’s your summer going?
