All in Autumn
Never one to let a common cold beat me (cough, cough), we have been out and about this weekend to enjoy the glorious autumn sunshine and make the most of our last full weekend here in Granada city before we move back to Casa Magdalena.
Granada is a beautiful city in so many ways. It's not just about the Alhambra, magnificent as that complex sprawl of buildings is. Granada is a city deserves to be explored, and as we have been based here this month we walked and explored in more depth and here are a few of our discoveries...
Last week can best be described as a maelstrom. We moved to Granada on Sunday 1st October for the month and had to hit the ground running as soon as we arrived...
It has been a very busy September. We have, for most of the month, had a fairly full house with guests and as a result we have sort of found ourselves hurtling towards October. The 1st October is a momentous date as it marks our first anniversary of living here in Spain. It is with huge relief that we can say that it is just an anniversary, suggesting a continuance, rather than the end of something. However, changes are still afoot...

OK, that may not sound that thrilling, but we bought a whole jamón from the highest village in southern Spain where it is cured and air-dried...
Today we decided to venture into the Alpujarras region on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada.
It certainly won’t be the last, but this was our first major walk of this year of living in Spain.
