People often ask what the weather is like here in winter, usually when enquiring about our lovely house to let Casa Duende and we do admit that it´s cold! Cold enough to snuggle up in front of the wood burner at night, to ski, but nice enough in the daytime sunshine to wear a t shirt and after all we are only 30 mins from the coast....
This morning we set off for a bit of shopping and lunch in nearby Motril - as we drove up the road the snow was glistening on the Sierra Nevada - luckily I remembered the camera!
It´s stunning, isn´t it?
The vines are all a russet red at the moment, and neighbours are still busy knocking Almonds...
As we passed Melicena on the Costa Tropical - I remembered the Peñon de San Patricio, so on the way back we stopped in the sunshine and took a few pics - it´s St Patrick´s Rock - legend has it where he landed up when he came to Europe, I guess on his holidays, you see we Irish really do get everywhere!
There was a little shrine at the bottom - I´d say a few prayers have been said there over the years for local fishermen, and a boat was grounde at the top near the road - although I can´t be sure it was Paddys Boat, wouldn´t that be green?! ;)
Anyway, just look at that blue sea - and just think, it´s Christmas next month - -how lucky are we?
Stop gnashing your teeth....
