photos and your writing on the website are stellar

What a fabulous writer you are, not to mention photographer. Your photos tell a story and reflect a very empathetic view of the world and a sense of adventure that makes your stories so enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire read, and, in fact, read many parts to my husband over coffee this morning.

Many years ago I was a flight attendant and we had lots of trips from the states to Malaga. You brought the terrain I would study from our descent into that part of Spain into vivid focus. I was never able to travel very far from Malaga on our layovers, though I longed to see those mountains and valleys.

Thank you for taking us on your travels.

Warm Regards,

Lory

Thank you Lory, you are so very kind. I hugely appreciated your comments and lovely to hear you enjoyed the pics. Its a lovely part of the world and actually from what I saw, Malaga seemed really nice too.

Thank again,

Tom

Nice pictures, living in spain and I still haven't been in Ronda, terrible mistake. Your pics inspired me, and I'm planning a trip to Ronda next spring, thanks...

Ronda is quite photogenic, especially the old part of town across the bridge. Just getting to Ronda provides numerous photographic opportunities along the way (at least if you're coming from the coast like I was).

Yeah, Ronda is a must visit if you are in the area. Although the driving round about was a bit exciting! We were a touch apprehensive to stop but there were so many spectacular views on the way over there.

Mmmmmm, I'm driving a 6-meter motor home, am I going to have problems by the route?

Well if you are already living in Spain I imagine you will be comfortable with the driving. But we were in a 1.2D Polo driving on the "wrong" side of the road for the first time on roads that were pretty tight. Trailing a 6-meter motor home might be a bit tricky and I definitely wouldn't fancy doing it!

Hehehe, I will try, in fact I've been planning a trip to scotland with my motorhome and I think the driving side change a real challenge, you know, always is easy to stay in your sofa, but these things make me to feel alive...
