More photos, please.

You got it.

Here we have a selection of images from Ronda. Did we luck out on that stopover or what... Ronda is famous for its historic bullring and annual festival. Read more here.
We just happened to be staying in a teensy town called Alpandiere, 15 km from Ronda's centre, during the weekend of The Big Event.

Note: while we did not attend a bullfight, we did watch Las Enganches on Sunday morning in the bullring - Andalusian horses parading in their finest. It was quite a spectacle.

The Alhambra

Most of our day trips from Frigiliana went like this: drive 5km to ocean, swim/sun/eat paella (repeat as desired), drive home and make pitcher of sangria to drink while watching the sun set.

To break up all the sun and sand, we took a trip to Granada for a half day and toured the Alhambra. People, it was awesome. Here are some of our photos...

What day is it?

Hi there. Our apologies to our two faithful readers for not updating in so long.

Toledo's Jazz Festival rocks out next to the historic cathedral.

We took a long vacation in Spain over late August/early September and have so many images we'd like to share with you, it's overwhelming. Well, that and Mike just took so many pictures we're still in the process of weeding out the unnecessary files.

The Balcon de Europa on the Costa del Sol (Nerja, Spain)

Post-Spain, we spent a relaxing four days at home filled with frantic work catchup and copious amounts of laundry before heading out to LA for a wedding and then Chicago/Evanston for a visit with Northwestern.

Now we're back. For a solid week. Oh yes.
