Off to Malaga for the Day Having moved on from Estepona to Torre Blanca the ‘Days Out’ continued. Next in line was Malaga, where Lynne, Michelle and the girls went on a boat trip, and then we all climbed the Castle Hill to enjoy the fantastic views of the city.
ReturnTransport to Mijas Pueblo Coventry Museum ....... Larry, Lynne and the girls had visited the small mountain town of Mijas Pueblo last year. This year we returned and took Darren and Michelle with us for their first visit.
Cable car to Bird Sanctuary This was another return for Larry, Lynne and the girls, but a first for Darren and Michelle. Having missed out on the cable car at Gibralter, we made up for it by ascending to the mountain peaks above Benalmedina to watch the birds of prey putting on their displays, and to then enjoy the breathtaking views again.
El Castillo Sohail....... Coventry Transport Museum Another place to visit was El Castillo Sohail in Fuengirola - in fact we made two visits, the first one in the evening, only to find the castle closed, so we returned a couple of days later. After visiting the castle Darren, Michelle and the girls went on a pedalo ride in the estuary.
Fun at the Beach.... Beacause of our busy schedule we only made a couple of visits to the beach in Torreblanca, but we made the most of it, as the pictures show.
