Beautiful flowers in Malaga

 This Saturday´s visit to Malaga will be the last one for this stay at Costa del Sol.
The flowers are now exploding and this first image is from the bridge close to the railway station Malaga-Centro Alameda.

 The next photo is taken at the start of the Paseo del Parque with the beauty of flowers and my wife

 Another photo of my beautiful wife once more. This time at the harbour with El Faro and the cruice ship and the new restaurant area behind.

This photo is a photo of many photos. Zoom out and see all the small photos that creates the image.

The last image is a video taken at the fence around the Picasso Museum. The beauty is documented.
thank you Malaga for this time and Hasta Luego.

Summer Day and 39 years together

In 39 years have this beautiful Lady and I lived together. Happy me. 2 children and 5 grandchildren, family and lots of memories.
Thank you Tullen for all the time and experiences we have shared so far.

Visiting Benalmadena Pueblo

Yesterday we copied many other long stay friends here at Costa del Sol when we for the first time visited the nice village Benalmadena Pueblo. We had been told a lot about the beautiful place and can after this Saturday visit confirm that it is a place to return too.

In the midle of the village we found Plaza Espana and the famous Restaurant Plaza that can be recommended for delicious tapas.

In the narrow streets the flowers are everywhere.

We had hoped to use the bus from the Pueblo to Arroyo de la Miel but we could not find where to go and the people we were talking to only said that we had to climb up the street once more. We therefore decided to walk downhill towards the beaches. That too became a challenge during the 3,5 km road more suited for Aamodt Kilde and his friends,  than my legs.
But the monument dedicated to Christopher Columbus had never bee seen if not choosing this way.

Sunday pitstops

Sunday morning we woke up to a temperature around + 10 degrees.
A perfect day of beach along strolling.
First the bus to Torreblanka ( no bus to Carvajal on Sundays) then walking to the Chiringuito Oasis for a water (con gas) and a coffee Americano con saccarino.

 Then starting on the 6.5 km walk against the wind back home to our hotel. The temp had already increased to 15 degree.

 At the restaurant "Talk of the Town" we made our first pitstop. The WiFi is functioning very well here, and the small beer is good. As the sun became stronger the temperature at the table was >25

 Next stop was at Chiringuito El Cargo where we also enjoyed a small lunch of grilled Sole.

Our last pitstop this Sunday was at a new discovery "Bar Parasol" close to the Mosque in Fuengirola where their Vino Rosado can be recommended.

Puerto Banus April 2016

At least once during our stay at Costa del Sol we visit the richen`s playground "Puerto Banus".
Walking along the harbour streets and visiting one of the restaurants have been a tradition as documented many times in this blog.
Last week Saturday was no exception in that tradition.

Commenting on every image is probably of no interest for my readers, but if there are something which need to be elaborated, please use the comment field and let me know.

As well known many of the fashion companies har their own buildings in Banus

A Lamborghini car is of course parked outside one of the shops.

 The coastline further southwest towards San Pedro

 Sone windows of Fashion Brands are passed by by my wife but others are of a greater interest.

The yellow dress in this window had a prize tag of nearly 40.000 NOK. 12.000 nok more than the green stripe long dress.

One of the reason for this Saturday visit to Banus was to have a lunch with my sister Gerd, but why is a glass of white wine prized to 4,50 Euro here and 2.20 Euro in Fuengirola
