Another treat during my San Sebastián Getaway was finally getting to meet Caroline (aka @floweries1) and her husband Steve. We’ve been Twitter pals for ages and they have already chalked up 11 visits to Donostia, so when I found out our next visits were going to coincide we made plans to meet up. It was a great evening out and now I am looking forward to when they are FINALLY going to visit Sevilla with friends in November.

Having a great time in Antequera so far! I didn’t realise that it is considered to be kilometre 0 – or the dead centre – of all Andalucía. I say “considered” because if you look at that map you’ll see that it’s centrally located east-to-west but not north-to-south. Hmmm…
Anyhow, this is me standing in the centre of Andalucía! More later…

So I am packing and otherwise organising myself for a three-night, four-day trip and I think these guys know something is up. And yes, I feel so guilty leaving them! Or is it more that I don’t want to be without them? Whatever. I know they will be fine. Peter is coming overnight to Antequera, but will go back the following night, so really the cats will only be on their own two days (one night)… and yeah, they’ll have lots of food and water and a fresh litter box. So why do I feel so guilty?? *sigh*

Highlight of my trip to Barcelona was revisiting Casa Batlló. But I was determined not to spend 20€ unless it was a blue-sky day and finally on Sunday afternoon the clouds broke. Around 5 pm I raced up the stairs to get some rooftop shots before the light faded, then went back downstairs to do it all over again more slowly. As luck would have it I ended up back on the rooftop just before sunset. Gorgeous, eh?

By the time you read this I’ll be on the super-fast AVE train on my way to Barcelona (or I may even be there already). In any case, one thing’s for sure and that’s that I will be missing these guys like crazy. Four whole nights away! What was I thinking? My original plan was to stay three nights but then I realised this would only give me two full days in Barcelona and I wondered if this would be enough, especially after all that travelling. Then it turned out that to stay an extra night at my fab hotel would only cost an extra 45€, so what the heck. I mean, it’s been 7 years since I was last in Barcelona and who knows when I’ll get back again. And so, four nights. Which seemed like a great idea until I thought about the cats. Ah well…
