Exploring J's past
Sunday 14th October
Another nice day, although cloudy over mountains, so we decided to drive to Nerja along the coast to visit the famous caves, which we have talked about for several trips. I suggested we make a mountain detour to see one of the villages where J had contemplated buying a house 7 years ago. J doubtful about tackling the mountain roads as it would take hours, but reluctantly agreed. Got to Competa about lunchtime and quickly found the house just off the town square…seemed ok, but would have been very isolated from anywhere, quite a way from the airport, and there were a lot of British there…
Had lunch, and J then decided she would like to try 2 other houses she had looked at on that trip, in smaller more isolated villages….Drove on to Archez along more windy roads, and quickly found the huge house on a small square. It had been renovated , but again would have been isolated and very expensive to do at the time.
On to Salares….even more isolated and rustic, but did not find the house….only the duck pond she remembered, and an old rustic church.
By now it was 4pm and too late to go to Nerja, so we went to Torres Del Mar, a coastal town popular with the Germans, and had an ice cream (crème catalana) and a walk along the front.
