04 - Mijas, Fuengirola, Rhonda and Cadiz

After the greuling days at Granada and Malaga - we slowed down the pace... on to Mijas


posterchild for White villages - Pueblo Blanco..Mijas is set into the mountainface... about 40 kms from the coast


From the parking lot...


Ruins of a fortress at the town lookout point.


totally unplanned...


impossible is just the beginning


Gorgeous vistas everywhere you look


a little Sangria..(or strawberry milkshake)


Turns out the girls dont always dress like this.. that day was their annual feria - fiesta....mmm..!


On the way to the Feria...


The queen of the fiesta...:) !!


They pass out special sherry made for the festival... this gets better and better..


the view on the way out...


....


The beach - Playa..



Time for dinner !!


thought we'd leave without a velveeta picture??


This is how they do it...in Spain !


Rhonda... beautiful little town built on a and around a gorge... was also having its annual feria that day...man.. did we luck out !


or did he....!


Another Pueblo Blanco on the way to Cadiz...


The cathedral in Cadiz with its intantly recognizable yellow glazed time dome..


The oldest city in Europe...


Square in front of the Cathedral...


as seen in the shades..


I did say we had slowed down the pace...


Lounging on the steps...<...


Ordering lunch at the fried Seafood take away place


This is how we do....
