Hello!

Times just flies. My parents were here two weeks ago and now I finally have time to post about it.

We rented a car and drove around the Costa del Sol for four days. I will put photos and tell more about places we visited.

Ronda (Province of Malaga)

Ronda is a small mountain town located more than 700 meters above sea level. The historic town is one of Spain's oldest town and there also is the oldest bullfighting ring called Plaza de toros de Ronda. The town is easily explored on foot.

Gibraltar

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory. There are the only wild apes and monkeys found in Europe. The culture is mix of Spanish and British. English is official language (schools and official purposes) but spanish, llanito (spanglish) and portuguese are also spoken there.

The people of Gibraltar call themselves Llanitos "people of the little flat land"

Good way to get to the top of the rock is Cable Car. You can enjoy amazing view from the top and also see the wild monkeys.

Parque de Crocodilos

Of course we went to the Crocodile Park in Torremolinos. There are more than 200 crocodiles and its open 365 days a year.

We went there one hour before the closing time and were the only ones there. All the crocodiles were inside looking very relaxed and calm. One of the staff members told us facts about crocodiles and let us held a baby crocodile. It was interesting to hear about them and also see how fast they react when the man was teasing them with a stick.

We also visited the white town in Nerja, Marbella and took a walk in Puerto Banus.

Have a good weekend you all !

Lazy Sunday

It has been a busy two weeks at work. I have learned some new things, like for example how to teach a Danish elder to drive automatic car without even speaking the same language with him... But for real I have learned many things.

I am really getting comfortable at work. I don’t get that nervous anymore when I have to use English or if a client has something to complain about.

too much mist, cannot even see the ocean

nice Sunday weather

This week we went to see a horror movie called La mujer de Negro (the women in black). It’s not very good idea to go a watch horror film that starts 10.30pm and after that to come home alone to sleep… Hehe but I survived. ;)


I also went with my friend to this great tapas restaurant. I really liked the food sooo much that I will surely go there with my parents when they are coming. So my parents were planning to come here today or tomorrow, but the problem is that Norwegian has cancelled many flights. So it’s affecting also to their flight. They don’t know for sure if they are able to come. I really hope that they can come so I can also have my vacation from work.


I can´t wait to spend time with them and go see some awesome locations and attractions, to do some sightseeing. 

I have already planned what we are gonna do here if they do come. I definitely wanna visit Parque de Crocodilos and drive to Ronda, Puerto Banus and maybe see the palace of Alhambra. Here are so many places I know I wanna take them to. But let’s see what happens …

Hope you all had a good and relaxing weekend and happy international women’s day.

Para todas las mujeres estupendas que andan por ahí!! Feliz día de la mujer!
