Dreaming of Summer Hols, Remembering Others

Having spent a few days in Frigiliana near Nerja on the Costa del Sol or Málaga Coast in August, I´m having difficulty remembering that incredible heat of the summer.

It´s been cold and now rain´s on the way for days. Here are a few sunny photos for a holiday feeling.




Nerja






Frigiliana


On this coast there´s some awful touristy bits and amazingly close the incredible scenery of the Sierras de Alhama, Tejeda y Almijara just kilometres inland.

Fortunately I first stumbled on the beaches near the Balcon de Europa, several lovely little coves that are accessed by steps and not connected.Later I went to find the famous Burriana Beach - which was one of those ... bits.


I found Frigiliana the same, some lovely parts in the steep cobbled old town and a lot of modern horrors.
