Fair is fair and a fair must be just that. The over hyped Feria de Galicia was advertised everywhere and on every lamp post in Antequera for weeks. At some stage I was wondering if we had moved, lock, stock, barrels and cats in the middle of the night. Nobody had told me anything about it. We might ...

Let’s take the train
 Trains have a magic all their own, especially foreign ones! Here in Andalucía we are in a rail enthusiast’s heaven. From the older trains running on the original 5’ 3’’ wide tracks particular to Spain, to the ‘up to the minute’ streamlined AVE trains on the 4’ 8 ½’’ standard guage tracks, we have it all.
Who has not felt the excitement of the train journey from Bobadilla to Málaga through the gorges of El ...
