Well the end of February is upon us during this three day weekend here in Andalusia. And why do we have three days this weekend? Because Monday is 28 February which is Andalusia Day. In Spain, each autonomous region has public holidays for their own region and here it is Andalusia Day.

The weather could not be more perfect for a holiday weekend. Today, it is like summer out there, warm breeze, cloudless sky, bright sun, one could not ask for a better day. We have the hotel full this evening and expect many to be out walking today and exploring.

Looks like we are going to have a early spring as this weather looks posed to stay and no one is complaining about that.

We have a Scottish Gaelic Language workshop booked for mid-April, well during Holy Week actually. There are still places available and we will be having the Scottish fiesta on 21 April which is a Thursday so mark your calendar if you are in the area. It is a fun evening with Scottish folks dances and song as well as door prizes of Scotch Whisky, shortbread and other prizes. Bring your kilt!!

This is Valentine's Day weekend as Monday is the day. We have put on a special menu for dinner for today, tomorrow and Monday. The weather is gorgeous, perfect for a day of walking and then a lovely candle lit dinner for two, romance in the Genal Valley of the Serrania de Ronda. The hotel is full this evening but we have rooms available for tomorrow and Monday.

Here are a couple of photos I took earlier this week and one that has been around for a while.

It shows how beautiful the weather has been this week and hopefully for the rest of the month.
