Benalmedena Costa was much more populated than we thought and the view of the Sea was really nice. (It wouldn't stitch together well...)
These were taken at the end of the block at Castle Bil Bil |

The streets have names, but finding the names actually on the street is another story. This is the main reason that navigation was difficult. We would get directions like "go to the windmill turnabout" or "go to the Sail turnabout" |

Unlike other European countries, Spain actually has a wide variety of really good foods. We didn't even have to resort to McDonalds once. We had Chinese one night and found menu item 60 interesting. I'm thinking it was a translation thing...

The Sahara Sunset Club had it's own restaurant with typical American and British fare. They also provided a variety of entailment. I liked the birds |
| While at the Alhambra Edward spotted a lady in a mink coat on a scooter. We were wondering what she had the scooter for until she started riding off on it. |

This is actually the Christopher Columbus Memorial. It was built by a businessman that set a Guiness book record building it. You can actually walk around inside of it, around it and all over it. We had beautiful blue skies that day! |

I thought that the grocery stores had a good way to keep their carts in their lot. Kmart could learn a thing here. It took us a bit to figure it out but what happens is you put a fifty cent Euro in the slot, and the chain will release from the cart ahead of it. When you bring it back you plug it back in and your 50 cent Euro will pop back out. No carts cluttering up the yard.

This was my favorite street sign. When you go into a tunnel there is a sign without the question mark, meaning "turn on your lights". When you leave the tunnel they didn't want to say turn them off as it might be night time, so they put the question mark to remind you if it is day to turn them off. |
| I took a bunch of mountain and cloud pictures that would probably bore the average person so I thought I'd pick my favorite. |  |

Even the Malaga Airport was an adventure. We got there three hours early (thank heaven) and we needed it. First we had to figure out the rental car return. Then it was search for cart. Edward went into the terminal to get a cart, while I did the rental car return. Then we had to figure out the luggage checking thing. In the US you would go to the desk that said "Air France", in Malaga you have to go to information to get the line number for your flight. |
|
Then you have to find the line that you are looking for. You can only check in when your flight number is on the TV screen for your line number. This happens about 2 hours before your flight. You can't check in till that flight number appears. We got checked in and even had time to do some last minute shopping. |

Our plane was late taking off from Malaga so you know we had to RUN to get through the Charles DeGalle airport to get the connecting flight. We formed a team with others that had a short turn around and the team was successful for finding the gate and getting on in time. They actually held this plane (go figure). Lynnette was nice enough to come get us and take us safely to the house. We will be going back. WE LOVED SPAIN! |
I hope that you enjoyed our vacation story!
