The coast at Torremolinos. Our hotel is the one in the center of the left picture.
The right picture shows the coast to the east of our hotel, looking toward Malaga.

Olive trees near Nerja (east of Malaga).

"Extra-Virgin" olive oil for sale at a co-op where they press and bottle the oil.
"Virgin" is first pressing oil and "Extra" means highest quality. Regular oil is made from a second pressing of the olives.
Fresh oil is cloudy. It becomes clear after aging.
Notice the Spanish hams to the right.

Village of Alfarnatejo (Population 400)

Old-time living quarters which were shared with farm animals.
A house had been converted into a reception center and museum.

We had lunch prepared and served by one of the village women in her home. Our hostess is in the picture on the right.

Frigiliana

The village shows the mark of ancient culture in its Moorish "Mudejar" neighborhood with its mosaic paved streets and white houses.

Marbella
