Paella Paradise

Friday we all went to an amazing paella restaurant in Nerja called Chiringuito de Ayo. It is pretty famous and considered to be the best paella on the Costa del Sol. The paella bowl above is just ONE of TWO that we ordered for our group of 8. A serious food coma ensued but it was worth it.

Life Changing Chips

Emily and I discovered these life changing chips in Nerja in October and I had not had the pleasure of tasting them since until I brought Lily and Alice there this past weekend. Clearly the two had to be introduced. They are homemade potato chips and are SO DELICIOUS. For just €2.50 a bag, you are in for a serious treat. If I can't find a job when I get home I am thinking of opening up a franchise in Central Park. Stay tuned.

Las Amigas

Last week I had two lovely visitors come to play with me in Malaga. It was an extremely indulgent week- we visited and purchased something at every good restaurant and clothing store in the city. We went to Nerja together and I saw the "Cuevas de Nerja" for the first time. Although the site was very touristy, the caves were huge and not what I was expecting at all. Some of the special memories from the week include: "paco," "raise the roof," "you need to tie your shoe," and "muffin man."

Te Quiero Nerja

We took the bus to Nerja today. Emily and I were determined to get there early so we left at 10:30am and it was a little over an hour. Dane and Greg came to meet us later and we had the most amazing day on the beach. There is a beautiful lookout point called "Balcón de Europa" where you can see miles to the left and right of the Mediterranean as well as a gorgeous view of the mountains. It was pretty much paradise.
