Celebrating fifty years of travels to beautiful Spain, thank you mum and dad for those first holidays in the sun....

 In 1963 I first went to Spain with my parents and sister on lovely family holidays, and have returned as often as I can over the years.

A few days trip last week to Malaga .... 

The Glass and Crystal museum set in a 17th century renovated house ...

 I'd like to learn Flamenco just to be able to wear these lovely dresses....

 The scent of orange blossom was gorgeous ....

 The Botanical Gardens ... beautiful.  I recommend lunch in the cafe there.

 The port, but you probably guessed that :-)

 Nerja ..... east of Malaga. This is the little tower that the English bombed, and it looks like we made a good job of it, sadly.

 oops, out of order, this should be in the Botanical Gardens section!

 Back to Nerja again ........

 The English Cemetery in Malaga......

 I hope this little doggy doesn't put on weight!
