Andalucia day 8: Estepona
Today I'm in Madrid for a work meeting. Spain is still lovely, as it was when we were in Andalucia...which makes me remember that I really ought to post the final installment from our Andalucia trip! So without further ado: day 8 was New Year's Eve!We spent the day doing two things: 1) nothing, and 2) going to the spa. We spent the evening buying food for our little en-suite picnic and ringing in the new year. It was absolutely perfect.We stayed at the Gran Hotel Elba Estepona which was a tremendous deal since it was the off season. I want to book all future trips like this: with a night or two at a fancy place at the very end. Sa-weet.This was the view from our suite the next morning after we arrived, as the sun began to rise......and later in the afternoon......and still later...That night we laid out a pretty impressive spread for dinner....and watched the sky until midnight.Happy New Year! We left early the next morning on our way back to London. I'd go back to Andalucia in a heartbeat and I can't wait to see other parts of Spain.Earlier:Day 7: Ronda & the mountainsDay 6 part 2: CordobaDay 6 part 1: the MezquitaDay 5: SevillaDay 4: GibraltarDay 3 part 2: MoroccoDay 3 part 1: Algeciras port and ferryDay 2: the mountains and the coastDay 1 part 2: GranadaDay 1 part 1: Alhambra
