Miguel Angèl and me Drinking Belgica Beer in Valencia

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice from Valencia!

Dressage and curbing (in Jerez)

While it appears beautiful, the horses are pranced around in uncomfortable positions. Much of it seems to show animal tricks or man's dominance over horses. I don't think Buck would approve.

Almunecar

The day after arriving to Malaga from Jerez, we took a bus to Almunecar on Costa del Sol. The city center of Malaga is very nice. The outskirts are littered with tall apartment buildings along the coast. About 30% of Malaga residents are foreignors. Along the coast it is 60% foreignors. Most foreignors dont interact with the Spaniard on a frienship level. Some of it is by choice, language annd culture.

The city has very natural beaches with waves for surfing. The winds can get pretty crazy here though.
