Momento from Spain

"The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us..." - Ashley Montagu

Seville River Cruise

On 1st January 2001, together with our three children we celebrated the New Year on a boat cruise in Seville, Spain.

We had the opportunity to see Seville from the Guadalquivir River and get lovely views of the city’s most famous monuments. From the deck of a spacious boat, we saw some of the city’s most important monuments such as the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza; site of the oldest bullring in Spain. We cruised under historic bridges and admired the mosaics of Plaza de España from far. We also passed the fabled Barrio de Triana, home to artists, fishermen, matadors, and flamenco bars.

Beaches of Costa del Sol

In November 2012 on the way to Algeciras to cross over to Morocco, we stopped for a last minute souvenirs shopping in Torremolinos.

There are around 90 kilometres of beaches on the Western Costa del Sol. This area comprises the towns to the west of Málaga capital, taking in Torremolinos, Benalmádena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona, Casares and Manilva.

The city beaches stand out for the range of services on offer. You can find everything you need to enjoy the very best in sun and sea experiences. Los Álamos Beach in Torremolinos is extremely popular with young people looking for exciting nightlife.

We were in Spain in June 2001, December 2001 and November 2012.
