We arrived in Mojácar at around 8 pm. The temperature was still above 30 degrees (C). So before we could take a closer look at the house we had to open all the windows and doors and let at least a little breeze in. We all soon ended up in the pool which is a communal pool (shared with a few other houses like ours), but for this moment the pool was ours! After a refreshing bath we „arranged“ the rooms, explored the kitchen and went out to have Paella in one of the Chiriguitos (beach bars) nearby.

On the trip we had a stopover in Barcelona. We arrived in the evening and made our way to the hotel in the Gothic Quarter. After we all had had a shower (it was really hot in Barcelona), we went to have dinner in the famous restaurant „La Fonda“ (thanks for the correction!). As usual we had to queue for 45 minutes to get in: But the menu was delicious and worth every second of waiting. The other day we had breakfast in Port Vell and strolled along Las Ramblas. Well, the ladies did some shopping in the attractive boutiques … And Mike got a FC Barcelona dress, of course. Barcelona would ruin me, if we’d stay longer than 24 hours 😉

The photo shows Susi, Lisi and Mike at Plaza Catalunya. The other one gives an impression of Las Ramblas.

We left Barcelona on July 23rd in the evening, took the plane to Almeria where the rented car was waiting for us. We drove to our final destination Mojácar, which was a 45 minutes drive through the „desert“. More about the house and the coast soon …

Mojácar is one of the „white villages“ (pueblo blanco) in the South East of Spain (Andalusia), some kilometers North of the Cabo de Gata. The map below gives you an idea of Mojácars location in relation to well known places like Granada, Malaga and Almeria.

This year we will exchange our home with family Ortega-Aranda from Madrid. We will spend our vacation in their holiday home in Mojácar (Andalusia) for three weeks. We will be five: Susi and me, further our children Lisi and Mike, as well Lisi’s friend Tim. The image below shows the costline near Mojacar – just to give you an impression!
