So I am off to Málaga… possibly for just the day, possibly overnight. I’m driving down with the veoapartment gang to look at some apartments and they are driving back in the late afternoon. Still debating on whether to stay over.
I’d like to also take a walking tour and talk to another apartment owner but I haven’t been feeling well the past couple of days and will have to race home the next day for a tapas tour (train gets in half an hour before tour starts).
Watch this space!

At the end of every trip to Málaga it always feels like it was never long enough, and on the train ride home after my most recent visit I got to thinking that I needed some sort of work-related ‘excuse’ to get down to my second home on a regular basis. And it looks like that’s about to happen! This week I start working with veoapartment as their Málaga expert, taking care of finding holiday apartments there and setting up the soon-to-be-launched Málaga page. Once up and running I’ll also be handling bookings and updating and have been told I’ll be making regular trips to Málaga. Yay!
What’s extra cool is that I think this is the perfect ‘extra part time job’ I’ve been looking for. I can do a lot of it from home with occasional meetings at the office, and I really like working with the Veo gang (I’ve been their social media manager for just over a year). So while it’s very early days – I still have to find the apartments! – it is definitely an exciting project. Wish me luck!

Last year around this time I started dreaming of taking a trip along the northern coast of Spain, but it turned out that I had to stay home that summer and take care of my darling Azar. So I have decided that – providing I get a clean PET scan next month – I am going to start planning this trip in earnest. I’ll fly from Sevilla to Santiago de Compostela and (so far) the plan is to go from there to A Coruña, Olviedo, Santander, Bilbao and San Sebastián. Then I’ll have to backtrack to Bilbao to fly home. I think I’ll be travelling on my own since it’s doubtful that Peter will have any money to travel, but I hope to meet up with friends along the way.
And so, fingers crossed for the next scan! I’ll also post this on the Azahar Sevilla blog (without mentioning dead cats and cancer) to see if I can get any suggestions for places to go, things to do, etc. And of course if you have any suggestions please let me know.

It’s never long enough. Took this photo of Málaga port on my way back to the apartment to pack up and get ready for an early departure in the morning. But I still have one evening left to meet Justine for tapas and walk around the center of town enjoying the Christmas lights. It’s been a whirlwind week filled with friends and food, sea and sun… my Málaga.
How’s your week been?

Just came home to my Spain Holiday apartment after a fabulous day out with Justine, lots of great tapas and wine, walking and talking, a visit to the Picasso Museum, bit of shopping… and this is what I saw just before coming in. Nice innit?
