East of Málaga: Old men on benches

Old men sitting on a bench - Competa, Spain

Old men on bench - Torrox Costa, Spain

Sometimes they will be wearing cardigans.   Often they have on their hats.

Sometimes they sit in the shade and other times in the sun (depending on the time of year).

One thing´s for sure – if there´s a bench in one of the white villages of Andalucíathere will be some old men sitting on it!

Bless ´em!

For sale

 

These colourful items were for sale in one of the little tourist shops in the pretty village of Frigiliana.  But you also get a glimpse of the beautiful tiles adorning the lower part of the wall on the outside of the building.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

Pretty in Pink: The Almond Blossom of Andalucía

Almond blossom in AndaluciaCan you see some of last year’s almond nuts still clinging to the tree?

Nature provides a wonderful backdrop to life here in Andalucía.  There are the brilliantly coloured wildflowers in Spring, the snowy peaks of the winter mountains and the baking heat of the summer sun.

But perhaps the most stunning display of them all is happening right now – the blossom of many thousands of almond trees carpeting the valleys and slopes like freshly fallen snow.

It´s a sight to behold!
