This is the view from my terrace looking across the Mediterranean Sea towards the Rif Mountains in northern Morrocco
Yes, I really can see another continent from my house!

Photographs I love …. and why! [Part 11]
This is just one of a series of photos I have taken, and will share with you over time, capturing the essence of living east of Málaga. Each one, in it’s own unique way, reminds me of why I love living in southern Spain, and in particular the Axarquía.
This is a view of La Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Church of Our Lady of the Assumption) in the central village square of Cómpeta, taken from between two of the nearby white-washed houses. Built in 1505, the church´s golden dome can be seen for miles around, dominating the village.
To the right of the magnificent tower, is El Paseo de las Tradiciones (The Walk of the Traditions), completed in 2009 on the site of the old municipal market.
You can also see two of the many white umbrellas offering a shady place to eat or drink at one of the cafes in Plaza Almijara, whilst being overseen by some of the old men of the village from their seated position overlooking the square.

I took this photograph a couple of years ago during the Bull Run in the village of Frigiliana. This event is held each year, early on the Sunday morning of the Feria weekend in June.
A smaller version than the Bull Run held in Pamplona, both in size of attractions and certainly in the size and age of the bulls, but nonetheless no less exciting for those participating. No bulls are harmed at this annual festival.
