I had this vague idea, a while ago, that I would do a series of ‘3 of the best…’ I’ll start by doing a ‘One of the best…’ and take it from there! We stumbled upon this bike-themed café, Recyclo, attached to a bike shop, around October 2014. It must have opened shortly before that, …
As is often the case when you live in an area, you hear over and over again that certain places warrant a visit. One of these places is Nerja.Why? Mostly because of its situation on the coast, which affords great views in either direction. Nerja is situated to the East of Malaga, about an hour’s …
I still haven’t been. But I have now had some authentic (at least it seemed that way from what I’ve read and seen on TV) South American food. I still want to go to South America by the way.Today we went to Mijas to have a look at the ‘Festival Internacional de los Pueblos’. Mijas …
When we lived in Manila we would get out of the city at least once every 6 weeks, sometimes more often. Since we’ve moved to Andalucia we haven’t really ventured very far from home at all. Living in Manila could be quite stifling at times – the heat, the traffic, the pollution, the noise – …
Mr H & I are both trying to learn Spanish. We are doing it quite differently. I am using Duolingo and I am having weekly Spanish lessons.

The last few months have passed in a bit of a blur, one of the reasons that there haven’t been any blog updates from me. I think about blogging often, but lots of other things end up taking priority. Before we moved to the Costa del Sol, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect in …
Just before we left Manila Eilidh had her 4-month-vaccinations. Our pediatrician noted that Eilidh’s next round of vaccinations was due at the end of July, when she would be 6 months old. At that point we would be in Spain. Just. So one of the first things I needed to do, when we arrived in …
“Oh, and during the fair. It’s going to be crazy.” One of the first things I heard from Santiago (the gentleman who picked us up from the airport when we arrived in Málaga, and has helped with various relocation-tasks) on the journey from Málaga airport into the city. Mr H had heard the same thing, …
It was a Saturday afternoon. Eilidh was asleep. I was clearing up after my lunch. My phone started ringing. It was Mr H. I thought he was phoning me to tell me that he was about to leave Estepona with our new (to us) car. Nope. He was phoning me to tell me that he …
Whilst we find somewhere more permanent to live in the Málaga area we are living in an apartment in the centre of the city of Málaga. This is a mixed blessing. It’s fantastic to have the old town of Málaga right on our doorstep; there are plenty of opportunities for exploring. Perfect if you have …
