Hola! We have been enjoying a much slower pace this week after our epic drive down the Spanish coast. I'm undecided whether I am impressed with how far we have come by car or whether I think we are crazy!
Our travels in Spain began in the North of Spain, in Catalunya. We visited Dan, Johanna and their family at their olive grove, Finca Slow. You can read about our visit and learn more about the work they do on their website...
We then drove further south to Albox which is where my family are spending their holidays in a villa (complete with pool and hot tub!) I wasn't going to turn down the chance to spend a week chilling out in the sunshine for free so here we are! I am giving up valuable sunbathing time to write this ;)
As well as spending hours on the sunlounger and in the pool, we have visited some places too. We had a day trip to 'mini hollywood' where they used to film old western films. They also had a zoo which was a random but nice addition to our day out. We spent ages laughing at meerkats, watching cancan dancers and taking silly photos in the western props whenever we could. They had a museum of animal prints and a reptile house too which were both interesting and awesome to look around.
Today was our final full day as we begin our marathon of a drive back to York tomorrow. We spent most of the day in Mojacar looking around the shops and eating plenty of tapas. Ryan bought me a bracelet with an indalo charm on it. In Almeria they are a sign of good luck and you often find them on houses. Sadly he didn't buy me the hat....
