15989 visitors to the website in April! Wow! That’s 30% more than our previous biggest mth. Thank you to all our supporters.
Nearly 16000 users is huge for a town like Velez. 🙏👏 The site was always a hobby of mine but when I see so many people visiting it, it gives me the kick-up the backside to do some work on it 😂. Thanks for the motivation 😬

The photo is simply my view right now. I’m sat thinking how lucky I am in our patio Andaluz in Velez with our Spanish Water Dog WYSIWYG. ❤️

Semana Santa Vélez-Malaga 2023 It’s Miércoles

Semana Santa Vélez-Malaga 2023
It’s Miércoles Santo and we’re half way through the procession.
With the smell of incense in the air (and a good dose of aftershave and perfume too) the town is taken over by these pretty elaborate displays of faith.
I love it, there’s always so much to observe. The change from day to night, the music, flowers, interactions between those in the procession, the different paces and manoeuvres, the adornments and then simply how the procession looks in the street. For a tourist it’s a must-see, an experience not to be missed. Get under the skin of southern Spain a little and get to know this tradition.

Palm Sunday and the start of Semana Santa (Holy We

Palm Sunday and the start of Semana Santa (Holy Week).
Velez-Malaga has 19 brotherhoods or Cofrade. Each participates in a procession. These processions have bands, penitents and floats with effigies depicting Jesus and Virgins. The floats are carried around town for hours.
See our intro to Easter in Spain in our bio for more info.

Today this virgin caught on fire, one of the candles fell on to her. The processions were cancelled for the rest of the day. So much effort, time and faith goes into this week. Let’s focus on the good.

Vía Ferrata in Comares 👏 And what a beautiful

Vía Ferrata in Comares 👏
And what a beautiful day for it - wow!
This climbing route opened in December and sits just underneath the village. The views of the Axarquia to the sea are spectacular! ❤️
Our guide: @localexperiences.adventures Thank you 🙏
Mixed Group from 9 to 52yrs. One brave soul suffered from vertigo!
We had a blast. It’s a great route if you haven’t tried Via Ferrata before and/or are nervous as there’s lots of ways to opt out. Plus most of the obstacles are pretty friendly.
It took us about 2.5hrs and we finished the experience with a drink and tapas in the very lovely Molino de Los Abuelos in Comares.
(I wanted to see some of you in Comares, it was a very last minute thing and we were tight for time.)🙏

Galicia! In Malaga the schools have a week off in

Galicia!
In Malaga the schools have a week off in February 🎉 Sooo…
We headed to Galicia in the north of Spain. Just a short flight (1.20hrs) from Malaga to Santiago de Compostela, stayed a night (we’d been before) then 40min train to Pontevedra (used this gorgeous small city as our base) and hired a little soft top car (yep, the weather was that good!) to explore the coast 😍
Absolutely spectacular from the cities, towns, villages and coastline. Galicia (known for its rain) we have to mention the weather, 18degC during the day (not sure this was luck or there’s a ruse on the part of the Galicians 😉).
The food was consistently delicious - octopus, beef, langostinos, stews… you name it we tried it.
All-in-all a fab little jaunt for all ages. 😊
