I spent the weekend, along with four other American girls, in a gorgeous little beach town called Nerja which is about an hour away from Malaga by bus. Here's a picture of me on the town's "Balcón de Europa" (Balcony of Europe), which is a little pier that has amazing views of both sides of the coast. Incredible.
There were tons of cats hanging out on this wall near the beaches and I, being me, had to take a picture. He didn't seem too thrilled.
This is one of the beaches of Nerja, right along side the Balcón. Not too shabby.
Sooooo beautiful! the beach we spent Sunday morning/early afternoon at.
We also visited a tiny little pueblo blanco (white village), one of Málaga region's beautiful little mountain villages. All the houses have bright white walls. Beautiful. Unfortunately we ran out of things to do in the town 2 1/2 hours before the next bus was leaving to go back down to Nerja. Next time we will remember to check the bus schedule before taking little excursions to remote villages.
Here's one of the streets of the little white town of Frigiliana.
This is the view we saw on the very windy terrace where we had lunch in quaint little Frigiliana.
The town of Nerja also has a beautiful cave right near by. And of course, we, being tourists for the weekend just HAD to see it. It was cool, but in my opinion, probably not worth the 8.5 euro entrance fee. It was definitely an example tourism at its finest. I said, "No gracias" to the 8 euro cheesy photo they wanted to sell to us. And of course wasn't willing to pay the 2 euros they wanted to charge me for a CAN of Coke at the shop/restaurant outside. Really? That's like $2.50 for a can of pop. Almost as bad as Disney World. Anyway, here's two of the few good pictures I got inside.
I start working tomorrow morning at my official school placement and am nervous! I will report back soon with how things go! Hasta pronto!
