22 – 25 January 2014 – Nerja to Malaga, Andalucía, Spain

We spent our last few days in Spain making our way back to Malaga Airport to return our hire car and catch our flight to Morocco.
The Balcón de Europa is a lookout built onto a natural headland in the centre of Nerja with spectacular views up and down the coast.
Apparently King Alphonso VII stood upon the site in 1865, where the Balcón now stands, and said "This is the balcony of Europe"

We visited the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary, dedicated to rescuing and caring for donkeys, mules and horses

And other waifs and strays……

The waterfront at Torrox Costa

Plenty to choose from at Torrox Costa’s Asador Ferrara

On our last day in Spain, we went to Frigiliana, a small whitewashed Andalucían village perched on top of a hill 8 km inland from Torrox Costa

We spent the afternoon wandering around the labyrinth of narrow whitewashed streets with old houses, tiny alleys, covered passageways, stairways, and colourful plants and flowers.
