Our lunchtime spot
Beer in a wine glass

To watch the sun go down
An interesting sculpture
Misty hills, looking towards Gibraltar
Great views from the top of the mountain
Golden glow
A perfect viewpoint
Changing colours
Over the mountains to the sea
Silhouettes
Dusky pinks
Changing all the time
White houses at dusk
With spectacular views

Colourful pots and dishes

All of us
Gorgeous flower pots and flowers

Relaxing in the shade
So many choices of places to dine
This was the best

Mijas Pueblo
A shooting star
Inside the Chapel of the pitiful virgin. A centuries old hilltop Chapel, with a cave shrine and lookout to the coast.
The long and winding road to the sea
Plant pots and ironwork balconies

A drive to Puerto Banús

Sunny daze
Peace and quiet
Looking back at Puerto Banús
Chiringuito Mistral Beach
A busy place
Beside the sea
Sparkly waves
The boardwalk goes on for miles!
So very warm
Palm tree sunburst
Such a gorgeous day
On our way back to the shops, restaurants and marina
An ornate fountain
And another
Super yachts
And supercars
For sale, for charter….
Nice….
Long shadows, but still quite pleasant

It's Christmas number eight
