Today has been beautiful in the Montes de Malaga. We have lazed around the pool, swimming whenever we felt too hot. I can think of no better way to unwind and summon up strength for a long drive to Northern Spain.
Whilst lying on the sunlounger I was joined by Yodo the ginger cat. What a lazy pair we were! Pauline and I ate the remaining Serrano Ham and Manchego Cheese with the last vestidges of salad left in the fridge. This was lunch, of course! Then we repeated what we had been doing all morning. It seemed the appropriate activity somehow.
We have now reached the point where we have decided to start packing our cases and loading the car for an early departure tomorrow. We shall return with more than we brought. There is a case and a half of good Spanish wine to see us through the coming days as we acclimatise to UK autumn weather. In addition we are also bringing back a supply of traditional Spanish dishes that we promised ourselves and others before we came out here.
The itinerary is as follows: Tomorrow we head for Toledo and Hotel Martin. The following day we hope to see some of the city of Toledo which Pauline has always wanted to do. After a second night in Toledo we drive the remaining distance to Santander and Hotel Chateau de Roca. Did you know that Roca is a leading maker of sanitary ware? Every loo I have visited in Spain during our holiday has firmly embedded this knowledge in my head. Even the equipment here at Finca Manolo has the same logo! On Monday at 3.00pm (2.00pm in the UK) we sail for Portsmouth. On Tuesday we expect to arrive in Portsmouth at 2.00pm and within 30 minutes set off for home. I reckon we shall be back in Anglesey at about 9.00pm.
Watch this space for details of any adventures along the way. These will be posted after we get home. For now this is the final Andalucia Report.
