This is our third visit to Javier’s (AirBnB) place down on the coast as it suits us so well: secluded, large, south-facing terrace, big garden with palms, orange and mandarin trees, close to the beach, short drive/walk to town, beach café/restaurant nearby, fast internet, reasonably well-appointed kitchen … He’s done it up a bit since our last stay 2 years ago – new furniture indoors and on the terrace.
The weather is now mainly warm and sunny, so we have been doing a lot of hanging in the garden during the day.
Did a couple of short morning runs, one along the beach (picking up some of the lovely smooth and sparkling pebbles on the way) and the other up the Rio Seco which must meet the sea underground, as it disappears just short of it:
Paid another visit to the Guadalmar nature reserve next to Malaga airport. Lots of Crag Martins zooming around over the ponds (more used to seeing them in summer in Luz), some distant blue-beaked White-headed Ducks – a local speciality – and lots of noisy Monk Parakeets, and a chirpy Fan-tailed Warbler, (plus a juicy little octopus for lunch):
