Around the Casa, Days Fourteen - ?

We're back in La Zenia enjoying a bit of downtime. Each morning we head out for a walk, and end up wishing we had started a bit earlier. By midday the heat is palpable on the pavement.

Jeff at the post office

The other day we discovered a route to a neighboring beach, Playa Flamenca, also a tapas, er, topless beach. The village has a post office, a few shops, and restaurants.

 Our current  favorite is The Oasis, and indeed that's the way it feels!  It's run by a British couple our age who are delightful.

It seems as though the post office is privately run, but our Spanish is not good enough to verify that. There's so much we're learning about Spain.









The other day we met a very nice gal in our complex named Denise. She and her husband Bob are  from Britain and spend most of their time traveling here to their home in Spain and to Australia visiting their son and his family. Denise has been terrific, recommending places to visit and restaurants to try out. The other day Jeff bemoaned the fact that we haven't seen any Spanish restaurants nearby, so she suggested we we all go tomorrow night to a place in  Pilar de la Horadada, a few towns to the south, that is supposed to be very good. Stay tuned!





One of the fun parts of a home exchange is that you get to appreciate and care for certain parts of the home. For us it's feeding the  little black (feral) cat and watering the potted plants on the patio.

 It certainly feels more like home.
