All in Fiesta
This week we've been on holiday for Semana Santa, one of Spain’s most important religious festivals marking the Passion of Christ in the run-up to Easter weekend...
Today is ‘Dia de Andalucia’ and how do we mark this occasion in the Valley? With the annual cross country race La Carrera de Campestre de la Naranja...
So, how did we spend our New Year in Spain? Last year, you may remember we found ourselves as the only diners in one of our favourite restaurants, El Puente on the edge of Dúrcal, having a fabulous meal with the children. This year was very different...
