Our friends from Conil arrived here yesterday having decided to abandon their plans to visit Portugal due to the incongruous weather.

In the afternoon they drove Moe and I to Nerja where the ladies partook in a spot of shopping and the guys a spot of beer tasting. For the beer tasting, we enjoyed a wonderful panoramic view of the bay and the sea, thankful that the bar finally turned on the outside patio heaters. A bracing Northerly wind has taken hold and despite a sunny day, the windchill is brutal.

In the evening we returned to Torre del Mar, dining at an absolutely superb Chinese restuarant – Restaurante Chino Hong Kong. Won’t need to eat for several days now…
