I had an early Christmas present when my brother arrived on the 21st to spend the Christmas holiday with is. It was Andrews first stay with us in Spain and I was looking forward to showing him around the area we have chosen. We had already done all our shopping and we were eating out on Christmas day so the relaxing run up to Christmas was set to continue.
The first couple of days of Andrews visit were lovely and sunny and we enjoyed introducing him to some of our friends and some of our local favourite spots. He had seen everywhere by photo but he said it looked very different now he was here to see it for himself.
He had been busy with work in the run up to Christmas so it was going to take him a few days to wind down but we soon had him on a tourist day - a coffee in the square at Aguilas:
And of course every visitor has to be taken up to the castle for an obligatory photo:
We have a lovely bar in walking distance from the villa and needless to say we soon introduced Andrew to the local brew - well, actually the bar is run by a Belgian couple, Anika & Danny, and so the local brew to us is Belgian beer - Primus. We seemed to spend a reasonable amount of time in there while Andrew was with us and it was a good place to have a spot of lunch and meet a few of our friends.
The next tourist trip was to be up to our golf course. It's not exactly an easy course for a high handicapper and Andrew only plays a couple of rounds of golf a year but no matter, he would give it a go and I was looking forward to playing golf with my brother for the first time. I never got to play golf with Dad as he had stopped playing before we started but I was pleased to have the chance to play golf with Andrew - and show him what a beautiful course we play.
All set for Christmas Eve - golf shoes at the ready!
