It often seems that Spring is one big fiesta in Andalusia. Most religious holidays seem to be around April and May. One of the few non-religious fiestas is Dia de Andalucia, or Andalusia Day.
This day celebrates poltician and writer Blas Infante, Padre de la Patria Andaluza, the founding father of Andalusia.Infante strived to protect el [...]
Sometimes I kinda forget that I´m living in mañanra land. For instance yesterday, when I went to pick up my boots. They´d been with the shoemaker for a little over two and a half months, come to think of it, nearer to three. No matter, I bought some reasonable walking shoes at the local grocery [...]
To be perfectly frank, Bar El Trapiche, next to its bigger brother El Cruce on the road from Velez-Malaga to Comares, looks like a bit of a dive. We wandered in because we were staying in La Escuela Crujía, a lovely b&b around the corner, and we were hungry. Also we were encumbered with two [...]
I´ve been living in Spain for well over a year now and the one of the things that I really miss from back home is variety in food. Spaniards appear to like their food the way their mums made it and that´s just that. Especially in La Alpujarra. Pizza is ok, and an occasional Chinese [...]

My best friend Pieter is amazing with houses. Even when we were kids and playing house, his make-belief houses would look so much better than mine! I always thought he’d end up doing something with property or design (how many ten year olds regularly phone real estate offices to get the specs on three bedroom [...]
I was talking to a friend about pets. He told me he’d moved to Spain fully expecting to get a couple of dogs and actually bought a huge car with this in mind. Then he looked after a friend’s dogs for a week and was cured forever: no way was he going to let disobedient, [...]
I was ready to hate this modern day version of Pride and Prejudice. Amanda Price, desillusioned thirty something and Pride and Prejudice fanatic, finds Elizabeth Bennett in her London bathroom. Apparently, there’s a door to Austen’s fictional world behind Amanada’s bath tub.
Amanda goes through the door and leaves Elizabeth behind in modern day Britain. She [...]
I thought we were trundling along nicely raising a pup, but staying in a hotel for the past week or so has set us back considerably. In the hotel, she cried so loudly that a kindly man thought we were torturing the poor beast and asked the manager to check. They let her out of [...]
