Holy Week-week 5 of the Spainish adventure
Hola
What a week it has been. The weather has finally warmed up--thank goodness--so each day has not only been an adventure, but an adventure is the sunshine!! The family has done everything to show me the traditional Spanish hospitality.
This week they took me hiking, biking and out to family gatherings!! Yesterday, I took a day trip to Tangiers--now that was something--travelling across the straight of Gilbralter!! I wish that I had opted for the 3 day trip which would have taken me to Casablanca--but instead, I decided to have only a taste--as I am still bound for Gilbralter, Ronda and Grenada.
Rock of Gilbralter--we crossed the straight of Gilbralter to visit Tangiers--it was about an hour crossing on a ferry. It was quite a rough ride.

Yes, the you know what!!
Burbur carpet shop
lunch time entertainment
oh--the spices and food in the markets
anyone for the camel ride??
The army and the church--the ceremony for the processional piece
hiking with the family--and yes we climbed to the top of that tallest mountain!
the path was pretty steep and rocky, but I made it!
arriving at the top of the mountain--hurray
Granada is the white mountain in the distance. I will go there in a few days.
