Kevnjan's new adventure.

Sat. 12th. Jan. Yesterday we spent washing and generally taking care of housework. Relaxed in the afternoon in preparation for the big night out on the town. Made friends with a couple, Noel and Belle who are wardens for the Caravan and Camping club, on their winter break. Nice people, he's a retired fireman and she is an ex air stewardess/hairdressing tutor. It turned out they had booked the same deal as us, an evening of guitar recital, tapas, dinner and cabaret of flamenco. It was a great evening, in the old town, Albacin, we were picked up by a taxi driver who took us through streets barely wide enough to ride a bike through, a white knuckle ride, to a whitewashed cave. There,a brilliantly talented young guitarist entertained us with a selection of fabulous classical pieces while we drank and picked at delicious tapas of cheese and assorted meats. There were just the four of us and we felt very special. I must practice more!! It's breathtaking to realise what can be achieved, when you watch such an expert at work. He played Granada but it didn't sound anything like my version. From there we walked to another cave which purported to be the home of a famous gypsy flamenco exponent in the 1950s. The highlight of the evening was the flamenco dancing and singing in another cave/bar where we were served a fairly ordinary 3 course dinner but the entertainment was spectacular. Great value. The evening concluded with a walk to the top of the town and a view of the Alhambra, in all it's glory, illuminated from below. Sadly the pictures don't capture the magic. An unforgettable evening. Got to bed after midnight, that doesn't happen often. Today we drove down to the coast, such scenery, and are currently wild camping on top of the cliffs between Almunecar and Nerja, watching a fabulous sunset over the sea. It's good to be back on the coast. Had a text from Gunther and Anita today, they're on the road, though I don't know what their itinerary is. I'm sure we'll get together, looking forward to it. Time for whisky and enjoying what's left of the sunset. It's good to have something to blog about. Buenos noches.
