We had almost settled into our new house when our first visitors arrived. The J's had decided to whip in for a 2 week visit with their new baby, Jett and of course Jemmi. I must say at the outset I was impressed with their indomitability...50 hours in a plane for two weeks holiday takes a certain something. It was great to see them.
So we planned a few daytrips and a few roof terrace long lunches so they could immerse themselves in our little town. Jon and Jenny were very keen to try some of the local fare, in particular the Alpujurras Jamon, famous throughout Spain. Legs of pork are salted and left to cure in the dry mountain air. The nice thing is that the leg (complete with hoof) just hangs off a hook in the kitchen...visiting vegetarians need to give advance warning.
So we got down to the Med, had the worst paella in history (and a good one too), swam, visited the mountain villages and the Alhambra, ate, and drank a few cervercas....and I don't think that I heard Jett cry in anger once! The house was set off for a good start!
The Alhambra
Young Jett (setter) Too cool.
Hasta luego Amigo!
