Fuengirola, Spain

On our penultimate day in Spain, Grandma and Grandpa decided to take a tour of Gibralter. They left on a bus around 8am, so we decided to have a completely…

Granada, Spain

You may be asking yourself how we managed to amuse two toddlers for almost three weeks in hotels. First, we were picky about our lodgings. When we stayed somewhere for…

Ronda, Spain

Off to Ronda! This is one of my favorite places in southern Spain. It is also the source of nightmares I had leading up to it. As you’ll see, Ronda…

Córdoba, Spain

This is a cemetery, of course. Yen discovered it on a previous trip – it has a parking lot and a nice restroom, so it’s where we park when we…

Spain: Nerja

On to Nerja! But first we had one important task: pick up a car. We walked the very short distance from our hotel back to the train station and dutifully…

Spain: Málaga

I know what you’re thinking: “Why doesn’t she just stay home and relax?” Sorry, that’s not how we roll. Yen’s aunt had a bonus week on her timeshare that she…
