Spanish Flee : Costa del Sol
Ranked #5,031 in Travel & Places, #147,062 overall
Welcome to our Spanish Flee ** our getaway vacation to Costa del Sol, Southern Spain!
Our nearly two week vacation in Southern Spain was definitely a type of 'flee' vacation, a Spanish Flee, in that we ran away from home -- leaving the care of our cats in a number of friends' capable hands -- and hoping that our contractor would finish our home renovation project upon our return.
When we arrived at the Heritage Resort in Marbella in Southern Spain, we were greeted by this tabby cat. So, I'd say that the inspiration for this lens was this cat who may have had a Spanish Flea or two. And, as I've done another lens entitled, Spanish Flea, this would be the companion lens -- rather a Spanish theme!
Spanish Flee : Costa del Sol was originally created on April 17, 2009.

- Years ago my family took a vacation to France and my father's birthplace in southern France near the Spanish border. We enjoyed it immensely. Sprinkled with dust from the Angel of the farmyard on a Back to School Field Trip.

- Oh wow! Julie! I'm astounded at how beautiful these pictures are! Now I have to go read on every one of them! The one I am most curious about is Ronda : View of Bridge over Gorge. That has to be really old and I'll bet is has a great story! Great music btw.. Kinda reminds me of the old Dating Game music.. hmm.. is it?
