Mountain
Villages
We visited a
few other mountain villages on our excursion from the port of Malaga. I didn’t really catch the name of two of the
villages – and frankly, they were so tiny, I’m not sure there was any sort of
sign identifying them! Still, there was
plenty of charm to go around!
Mountainside
Village
When I look at
this image, the village that I just said was so tiny, looks like it’s a fairly
decent size. I can’t explain it – all I
can say is that when we drove down the only road in town that was large enough
to handle a vehicle, we got thru it in probably less than a minute!
Little Burro
As we stood in
the village and looked over a fence, this little burro peeked out from the
small barn in the farm yard. What was
interesting about this farm yard was that it was practically vertical climbing
up a very steep section of the mountainside.
Decorative
Village Street
The narrow
streets in the village (no car could possibly fit!) were quite charming,
winding with flowers and plants lining them, and this one with decorative
stonework as the actual street.
Welcome Home
Just off one
of the streets were some steps leading down to a very welcoming lower
courtyard. The image just seemed to beg
to be converted to a painting, and I obliged!
Private Entrance
Even if the
streets didn’t have steps, they did incline up in a somewhat steep rise. Again, I love the plants (and trees) lining
the street, and the wonderful wooden door of the private home entrance.
Competa Pub
A second
village that we visited was, I believe, called Competa, and we stopped at a pub
in this village/town. We had a small
wine tasting and enjoyed some tapas there.
As we sat there, I loved the feel of the pub, with people wandering in
and out, visiting with friends, and sometimes sharing a brew (or glass of
wine)! Converting it to a painting made
the scene even more charming!
Enjoy!
