We leave California for Spain

September 1st. we left our house in Los Angeles, and flew to London and on to Barcelona for a company training day. Then, back to London to visit family for a few days. We started the drive down to Southern Spain by taking the Channel Tunnel over to Calais. It is really quick, only 35 minutes, but feels rather claustrophobic. The first day we drove to Tours and then on through Bordeaux and Cognac into Spain and stayed the second night in a bustling city in Northern Spain, Logrono. Onwards through Spain , we stayed the third night at a magificent Palacio in a tiny place named Mengibar. The room was spacious and comfortable and the whole hotel was gorgeous.We were having a minor challenge with our camera, hence no pictures! Finally on day four we arrived back at our beautiful villa on the Costa del Sol. We are so happy and grateful to be back, and are now once again able to gaze out over the Mediterraneon every day - it is breathtaking.
