Nerja 2008


Our winter holiday this year was only a month long but what a month!
We found a wonderful airfare deal through Air Transat from Montreal directly to Malaga for just over 500.00 return with taxes included. I couldn't believe my good fortune. We took the Greyhound from Ottawa bus terminal to Pierre Elliot Trudeau airport, flew directly to Malaga (just over six hour flight) and landed at 6:30 a.m. Customs and baggage was a breeze and by ten a.m we were having breakfast at our favorite outdoor cafe in Nerja. The return trip a month later was just as simple...left Malaga at 8 am, landed in Paris where we picked up some other passengers and then continued on to Montreal. Our best and easiest flights to Europe ever.
Our apartment was a two bedroom on Calle Merida which is the first street back from Torrecilla beach. The terrace faced south and we could see the sparkling Med. Best location yet, very quiet and only a moment's walk to the promenade and equally convenient for the old town.

Weather this year was incredible. We arrived on Jan 16 and had an endless month of blue skies and sunshine. Never touched our umbrellas. There were a couple of breezy days at the end of the stay...some cloud once in awhile...it never even rained. (not good for Spain which needs some moisture in the winter.)
