A Catholic church in the middle of a borough full of Mosques? I don’t think so. These are residential houses in an area which is called Alhambra. These are simple family houses with an igloo on top. The name Alhambra has been picked to give these icy livings an exotic flair. All in vain, they’re … Read more
We have no internet in the house this month, making our daily posting a challenge. Hopefully, it will be settled next month. For the time being, we will make the most of it. ^hm
It’s moving time again. We have gone to a different location in the same town we were in last year. Although this time it’s not an apartment. We’re in a house. About 200 m from the sea. That’s not too bad, is it? We’re a bit further away from the shops, but on the other … Read more

You are here, Usted está aquí. And indeed that is exactly where this map can be found. At the end of itinerario from iglesia a iglesia. The one church is in Isla Plana, where we live, and the other is in La Azohia. Both churches are about as big as the house we had in … Read more
You never expect it, but when it happens it’s always a surprise: a camper parks in front of your house. The driver and his passenger turn around in their swivel seats and disappear in the back. The top hatches open up and after 15 minutes they reappear, wearing a complete set of new clothes. They … Read more
