I can’t remember if I’ve ever posted this photo here, but it’s one of my favourites from Málaga. Taken last summer, I think. Anyhow, I will be off again *way too early* Saturday morning for another Málaga Getaway. A bit sad that I can’t take Morcilla this time, but oh well. Peter is going to come for two nights and then come back for cat care duty – he hasn’t been to Málaga for two years and wants to do some research of his own.
Aside from the gut-wrenching thought of being cat-less for almost a week I am really looking forward to my five-night stay in Málaga. I’ll be staying at the apartment I rented last summer, right in the heart of town. Have you got any end-of-summer trips planned?

water cascading into Mercury’s pool at the Alcázar Palace
Spent a lovely morning re-visiting the Alcázar Royal Palace and the Cathedral – including climbing up the Giralda tower, which I haven’t done for years – and it was great. Those two very cold beers below (served in Riedel glasses!) was the reward, much needed with 40º temps. Expect more “postcards”…
the bells! at the top of the Giralda tower

It suddenly occurred to me around 9 pm last night that I am ON HOLIDAY!
This doesn’t mean that I’m not working as much as always, just that there are fewer tapas tours this month and that I have also made plans to travel here and there in Andalucía doing research for my new trip planning biz. So how does this qualify as being ON HOLIDAY you ask? Well, the main difference is not feeling any pressure to have to be anywhere or do anything at any particular moment. So I can just get up in the morning and deal with new things as they come up, go to the gym or takes walks whenever I want, and also comfortably get on with updating website stuff… at my leisure. Just writing this makes me want to stretch like a cat.

Look at all the lovely gifts I was given by @lesleyjudge and @aileenlamb who, along with @criadera, met up with me in Málaga this past weekend. More on our adventures later on Azahar in Sevilla. Today I am busy catching up on the work I couldn’t get done over the weekend due to crap internet, as well as doing laundry and drinking lots of green tea (making a change from all the WINE drunk over the past few days). Oh, and I also went to the gym for the first time in almost five weeks, taking my first walk outside the house without crutches. Not a bad Monday! How’s yours?
