One of my favourite places in one of the 5th happiest cities of Europe.

Hi Ishwave

This may come as a shock but South Africa has happy people in it...
I have spent some time in airports.....SA was the only one that was full of laughter, people speak to each other.... I do like that. handshake cheers yay
See I knew you would that place looks brilliant.applause applause
Thanks Redex, I was expecting some of your photos. You know I'm one of your fans.
Ish, I haven't been there in a while, but my one complaint would be a lack of signposts, I once took the wrong turn off the motorway (coming from the airport) that has fooled many & ended up in the city, took me an hour & a half to find a way out doh laugh rolling on the floor laughing
To many brits..and looking at the Spanish ladies in their outfits...yes it must be on my list..it will be on my list..love
2B I have met some happy people from S.A. you are one of them.
Why don't you post that pic you showed me where that lovely beach house is.
Zmountain you live in another lovely place of Spain. Andalusia is a wonderful area.
I use to hate driving in Malaga also, would always use public transport
Ian, Spain does have some very beautiful women. I'm sure you will enjoy Spain.
Ish, must admit I did that also, the bus is so cheap & the driver seems to know where he's going laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh mind it pays not to look out of the window whilst he carves up other motorists uh oh wow doh
Sorry Ish. I don't feel happy at all in any city as I don't like crowds..noise..pollution.

I left Paris for those reasons.

By all means there are some very beautiful places in the world to visit but there are not cities.

I'm very happy where I'm living...sea..sun..
.mountains..no high rise. dancing
Zmountain are you trying to scare Ian as he is coming on a bike tour.
The worst place I have driven was Buenos Aires Argentina. Driving was horrible but crossing the streets was impossible.
Min, Spain has lovely beaches on all its coasts and islands.
I need go visit your part of Spain.
Hi Ish,

I have only been to Spain once, Barcelona. Malaga looks very pretty! How often do you go there?hug
You're welcome any time guapa. I could show you around and even take you to Cartagena.hug
Min,

all you say,are in line with my options....free to move and to feel the energy of the nature,without crowded pressure and surrounded by could dead concrete,that is the real luxury.

Gentle, I lived there, I try go as often as posible as I love it and still have friends there. I try never to miss the April fair.
I agree with you Sem. Here there are many places like you describe and this is why I chose this region.

There are some special places with wonderful energy..very spiritual .. where people meet for meditation and special celebrations.
Ish
Well have to work on pic posting.....
Will let you know when I get it right....
hug
Andalucía is of course very pretty too..away from the coastas and the madding crowd.

It's greener than where I am because it's a bit cooler and rains more.

However. .A nice place where I wouldn't moving to would be near the French border or Galicia on the Atlantic Coast.
Beautiful and green with cows in the fields ..and horses. smitten
Sorry. ..where I wouldn't mind moving to. .doh
One city I would really like to see is Toledo, I translated a guidebook from Spanish English into English English and was absolutely fascinated by the mix of cultures preserved there. Some day.
Hello Ish,

The images of Malaga look like a make believe place out of a fairy tale. It looks beautiful there. thumbs up Do they have tomato throwing there as well? laugh
Ish, I used to always avoid Malaga , just get straight out to the coast, but now I quite like the old city.

My favourite cities in Andalucia are Granada, Cordoba and Cadiz.
Toledo is also famous for its steel and sword making.
Molly. I agree with Granada and Córdoba.
Don't know about Cádiz ?
Biff, Toledo is lovely . You should just come live Spain. The weather is way warmer than where are at the moment.
Johnny the "tomatina" is ina town called Buñol near Valencia. Thats closer to where Minerva lives.
You would love Malaga. See some of Pablo Pcasso art, or even go to a bull fight. I've never been to one myself but after reading Hemingway Death in the afternoon always wondered what it would be like to go. But not sure I could handle it.
Don't speak a word of Spanish, don't know anyone there? But sure, when my premium bonds pay out, I'll come visit.

Que sera, sera.
Ish. Bull fight ???doh scold
Molly you know all the good places. I really think you have spanish blood.
Biff You don't know anyone where? In Spain.
Minerva,
Solamente
Mapmaker,
Zmountain
me
etc your sister.
Who is somebody for you?
I know Min, but have you read Hemingway. He makes it sound like an art. Its amazing.
That's right Ish. I was going to say. Excuses excuses !!doh
I know he does Ish and it's disgusting! barf

It's not even a fair fight if you knew what they do to the bulls..and horses before they enter the arena!!!

It has been banned in Cataluña and hopefully it will be here soon too.
Ish, the only one of that list I know in Spain is my sister and one holiday with her was enough, thank you. rolling on the floor laughing

It's a very big country, but I do promise if you all have a get-together, I'd hop a plane to join you. Have one while Molly is there, for added bonus? In fact I think you are an excellent organizer, make it happen please laugh
Min , I mean amazing book. Not the bullfights. Ive never been.
Biff how many do you need to come over. Enough Molly and I? We wont let you get bored.
Biff Well they are more than invited if Molly doesn't mind. But a girls night out doesn't sound that bad to me.
Are you sure you can handle all of us at once?
For those who need more convincing to visit Andalucia and it's wonderful places watch this video..
