For various reasons, we didn’t/ weren’t able to head south to escape the cold, snowy Canadian winter this year so we hunkered down and hibernated for most of the season.
We had one week of fun in the sun with family in Mexico the first week of January and the warmth of that week faded quickly when we returned to our day to day life in the cold.
By the first week of February, Monsieur/ Señor had sussed out some flights to Europe, and after much discussion we decided to spend an extended stay in Spain this year. So no France for me this year ...
Flights were booked arriving into Malaga and returning from Barcelona.
We will spend 5 weeks in Spain in May and June 2018.
Once the flights were booked, we first found a wonderfully looking apartment in Seville for three weeks.
The posted info on the website www.veoapartments.com said that it was not in one of the
tourist barios but a typical neighbourhood.
The San Vicente one bedroom apartment is located in the historic centre, just minutes from the major monuments and sights.
It is part of the “Casa Palacio” dating from the 19th century with an inner courtyard/patio which is beautifully decorated with columns, arches and various tropical plants.
We were working backwards at this point, now we needed some place in Malaga for 3 nights when we arrived.
After much searching we found a cute fourth floor apartment “Apartment Strachan” using HomeAway.com.
We would travel by train from Málaga to Seville.
We made a conscious decision to not have a car in Seville.
We would pickup our rental at the end of our stay on the 17th of June.
Seville is not a friendly city for drivers and walkers alike ...
narrow one way cobble stoned streets in every direction with no rhyme
or reason.
