A Walk Through The Countryside

Sat 5 April 2014
Late night last night as watched Wolf on Wall Street movie - it was so long bed at 1am! It was ok but it's all been done before. Had breakfast outside Priscilla-that's the first time since we've been away! Gorgeous morning so decided to go for a walk. We walked from Torre Del Mar to Almayate starting from the beach then along the old tram route that used to run from Malaga to Zafarraya. We went through fields of avocado trees, artichokes, cane, potatoes and onions growing. When we arrived in the village of Almayate we had a coffee 1E each!!!! And watched as a farmer went by led by 2 bullocks. The village was lovely with houses all looked after and most of them had wells in the front garden. 23 degrees with a gorgeous breeze had to get in the shade at some points ! On the way back the route took us by the Rio Velez and over old bridges. One cliff face we passed consisted of shells and sediment from when it was below sea level. Arrived back after 3 hours and about 8kms - it really was a pleasant stroll through the Spanish countryside. Had fresh avocados and local pate for lunch ( and a beer of course) before having a very relaxing afternoon under the shade of the trees, outside Priscilla, reading our books. Got the BBQ out for the first time! And finished off another great day with a delicious meal then watched the English "Voice" final. Great news arrived - Mike & Liz fly into Malaga tomorrow and they have booked an apartment for 5 days and it's only 20 mins from us!
