I am very happy to share this post with you as I think this is a real “find”. In Spain sometimes you find deliciousness in the most unlikely places. So I’ve already told you what it is… but let me keep you guessing for a bit as to where. This is the deliciousness I speak…

LAZY DAYS BY THE LAKE
at Bermejales in Granada province
My last post was about hidden gems in Andalucia and since we have discovered another one! Credit goes to our friend Charlotte who found this place last summer and has been begging us to go ever since. We have waited until now to see if she was exaggerating and it turns out she wasn’t one…
THE SECRET’S OUT
Andalucia in Lonely Planet’s Top 50 list!
Lonely Planet has just published an ebook called Secret Europe letting us in on their top 50 personal favourite travel locations from the Norwegian Sea to the Med. They asked their staff of writers to choose their own top undiscovered or “off the beaten path” spots. The resulting list features some real gems – none…
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
Farewell to precious DiCarlo moments
It’s the last day of school today – hence two posts in as many days, a last flurry of activity before the summer comes crashing in – and emotions are mixed. I’m in shock that this year is over already – it feels like only a few months ago I was buying shiny new pencil…
TASTE EXPLOSION

NOT SO FARAWAY GREEN HILLS
A Sunday drive to Sedella’s lush meadows
I’ve been wanting to go here for ages. That’s a view from our house. Known locally as “the meadows” it’s where the bare white rock meets the green on the upper eastern slopes of La Maroma. In winter when the mountain is snowcapped the snowline extends just beyond this area and the locals drive up…
DRESS UP BOX #2
Homemade: The Incredibles family outfit
It’s almost Carnaval time of year again whopee! Actually I’m a little embarrassed about how excited I am, way more than the kids are. We’re going down to Tarifa
CHEAP THRILLS in TORRE DEL MAR
A day out on a shoestring
I almost spent €45 on an hour’s entertainment for the kids the other day, but instead got a whole day of fun and loads of fresh air for a little over a tenner! Oh and a big sticky bun. It was last Friday, Day 1 of a 4 day weekend (the 6th and the 8th…
FIESTA EN FOTOS
Trick or treating in Sedella
Less than ten years ago Halloween wasn’t even heard of, never mind celebrated, in our village but with the constant influx of foreigners eventually it filtered in. Typically, the Spanish grabbed it by both horns and now it’s a huge event, for the children mostly but for anyone young of heart.
