We were up early to look at the sunrise in the mountains. In this case early is relative as sunrise is a little after 8 am. Tomorrow the clock changes here so we will lose an hours sleep.
The sunrise was disappointing as the sky was absolutely clear so basically the sky just got brighter. Since we were up we headed towards the coast to a sea side resort called Nerja.
After setting up François we headed into town along the beach. The beaches are wide and the ocean was dead flat, almost like a pond. We enjoyed people watching and comparing the prices of our favorite dishes in the beach bars as we strolled along.
The main town of Nerja was prosperous leaning towards posh. A lot of restaurants and bars catering to a slightly younger crowd than us. It wasn’t kids but 30 and 40 year olds who seemed to be doing well.
The church was doing great business and during our turn around town staged one wedding, and was preparing for a second on our way out of town. It is a pretty spot for a wedding.
We spent our time just wandering the streets window shopping and people watching. We had a light seafood lunch, but found ourselves fondly remembering our lunch in Setinel. We have decided that Setinel is our most memorable Spanish meal.
After lunch we headed back to François to make the important decision about how to head north. After a lot of debate and research we have decided to head north towards Catalonia and exit Spain on the eastern side. We still have a little time to play with but pretty soon going to cool places will be replaced by going to places that are closer to Amsterdam. We hate this part of our trips. The good news is that the next few days the miles north will be alongside the Mediterranean Sea so the views will be good.
