2013 - Day 4 (Claire)

Had a late night last night and so struggled to get up when the alarm went off at 08.30 for us to get into Malaga at a reasonable hour. Oh well, leisurely breakfast and more kindle!

The maid arrived just as we were getting ready. Really nice girl and we had a chat about the Fiera which is this week in Fuengirola. Me in pidgeon Spanish helped on by her fluent Spanish of course! Still it was fun.

Once Paul was ready we aygo'd off in the direction of Fuengirola and ended up in the hills at Mijas.  

It was not too busy and we found a parking space fairly easily.  Had a coffee in the cafe close by and while Paul was paying I strolled over to the leather shop next door; 15 minutes or so later after trying on several jackets, aided by a very willing salesman, and encouraged by Paul, I left with a lovely brown leather jacket.  I was offered the choice of a "free" leather purse on my way out!!

We did the tour of Mijas admiring the view, stroking the donkeys and avoiding any more souvenir shops if which there are many.

Back in the Aygo we came down the hill to the coast road and decided to lunch in the apartment.

Today it was tortilla, melon and yoghurt with a beer for Paul and a Pepsi for me.  

After siesta more kindle and then to get ready for dinner at the Bombe beach.
