NERJA:

Nerja is a small fishing and sherry-making town on the Mediterranean, a frequent vacation spot for the rest of Europe, including Spain. And we found out why. This has been our favorite place so far--the town is quaint, safe, near the ocean, and everyone is very friendly! The pictures are awesome.

We stayed at a hostal called Hostal Miguel, run by a British bloke and his wife. They were super friendly and gave us a great deal. It also had great location, so later in the night we went down to ¨Balcon de Europa¨where there are a bunch of restaraunts and little bars, the ocean, and some historical churches and the like. It was so peaceful! Dan and Jamie are seriously considering living there in the future, and I wouldn´t blame then one bit.

Unfortunately, we had to head out pretty early in the morning to get to the Alhambra at our designated time. But we woke up around 9 and ate breakfast at a little cafe overlooking the ocean; I had warm zumno de naranja and agua sin gas (see later post) to drink. Then we hopped in the mini-minivan that we rented and headed out to Granada...
