Our dear friends Lorna and Alan
As most of our friends and BLOG followers will know, Lin and I so rarely get to go away together because of the commitment to our animals, so whilst Ed was staying with us we decided to take the opportunity of visiting our dear friends and fellow alpaca breeders Lorna and Alan who live just outside of Cordoba.
We set off on the Friday morning with the intention of a leisurely drive up to their reformed olive mill situated in the countryside close to the town of Montoro.
Having stopped off for breakfast, we left the motorway and headed cross country whereupon we came across the town of Castro del Rio, where we stopped for a while to explore.
A square in Castro del Rio
Within the remains of the old castle in Castro del Rio, we saw a bird of prey feeding its young in the nest that had been built in one of the crevices in the castle wall!
Sadly, this was the best photograph I could take, because once she was aware of our presence, she became very concerned and anxious, so we left her in peace.
The highlight of the day, was when this elderly Spanish man with no teeth, who clearly fancied Lin, stopped his car in the middle of the road and tried his repertoire of English chat-up lines, which sadly for him came to no avail...
Had he had a few teeth....who knows!!!
Storks nesting on the church tower!
We arrived at Lorna and Alan's early evening and after a swim and a change of clothes we went to Montoro for dinner, after watching England's match against Sweden in the Euro 2012 Championships.
We stayed at Lorna and Alan's delightful Casita, which is incredibly spacious and decorated to a very high standard and includes a huge feature bath. It also has a private terrace that leads directly to the pool area. As part of their self-catering business, this Casita is available to rent from June through to September at very competitive rates. For more information you will be able to find 'Alpacas el Sol' on Facebook or alternatively you could visit their website at www.cordobarestrelaxation.co.uk
