I had thought it might be nice to go to Granada and stay overnight - nice and easy - but FR had the excellent idea of going further afield to a place we have intended visiting for a while but which would certainly require an overnight stay. And with five of us and a dog, we'd kept putting it off.
Cabo de Gato is considered one of the last 'wild' areas of Spain's southern coastline. This hotel, called 'Cortijo El Sotillo' has been converted from the original farmhouses just ten minutes walk from the beach and it looks absolutely wonderful, boasting 'green' and ecological qualities and the guest reviews recommend the breakfast. It has riding stables and a swimming pool though we are going mainly to explore the area.
I shall, of course, report back with photos on whatever our little adventure provides us with. I am rather ridiculously excited about it all! Fingers crossed it all works out very nicely. We can count on the thumbs of one hand, the number of times we have stayed together in a hotel, FR and I. (Don't know about you but for me, that's just the once!)
So you are now going to need the thumbs of two hands.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time x
Ha! I never thought of it like that but you are absolutely right!
DeleteThank you!

Really looking forward to the report...wish I was staying in a hotel with my husband rather than running around living from a suitcase when there are all these wonderful places to see.
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to going. It's been a busy few days and I have some blog-reading to catch up on...so I need to find out what you've been up to.
DeletePromise you'll get a full report back some time next week if you are around to catch it.
Take care and hope you get all things sorted that need sorting.

This sounds wonderful. I hope you have a wonderful time and that kids and in laws all survive. Cant wait to see the photos. Jx
ReplyDeleteShould be lovely, Janice - I'm so looking forward to it. I'm sure all will be well at home...yeah, sure it will....it will, won't it?
DeleteYes, of course it will; we're going anyway!

Everything will be fine and the in-laws and children will have a wonderful time. Just make sure you and FR do the same. :-) What a good idea to go further afield. I look forward to the account and the photos. Pxx
ReplyDeleteThank you Perpetua. Yes, I know they'll be fine and once we've left, I shall be able to enjoy everything but I shall spend tomorrow filling the house with food 'just in case' they run out!
DeleteI shall take photos!
Axxx
Have a great adventure the both of you---with many photos to tell the tale. X M
ReplyDeleteIt WILL be an adventure, Maria! I shall take lots of photographs - it's meant to be an incredibly beautiful place.
DeleteThank you.

How could your in-laws not love it :-) even looking after the children ,, they will all have a fab time, I have 5 grandchildren not sure I could look after them all at once though ,, oh maybe if I lived there :-) ,, Have a fun time away from home LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, yes, I'm sure they'll have great time - though I suspect it will be the children who look after the in-laws and not necessarily the other way round.
DeleteLooking forward to our little break - I'm sure it will be lovely. We're aiming to leave nice and early before anyone else gets up!
Axxx
Hope you have a wonderful time - and keep entering those competitions!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nilly. The prize was such an unexpected thing! But you're right - I shall start entering more after this initial success. Who knows what else might be up for grabs!

ReplyDeleteThanks Ayak - must remember to take the camera! We're so anxious to go that I'll probably forget it! I should put it in a bag just now.
