A mountaintop experience

This week, I was invited for the breakfast to the home of friends who live in the very highest street of Alhaurin de la Torre: right at the top of the mountain, as high as you can possibly go before you run out of streets and just come to mountain scrubland. The panorama is stunning: you can see the entire town of Alhaurin, all the way to the airport, the whole Guadahorce valley and even all the way to the cruise ships that come into the port of Malaga. Anja and I drove up there later just to see the view and to try out some of the exercise equipment in the little park at the lookout post. Allthough, to be honest, you'd probably get more than enough exercise if you had to climb up and down that hill every day! It's very close to the house that Ada and I nearly rented (back in 2009) and, despite the amazing views from up there, we're actually very glad now that we live at the bottom of the mountain and much closer to the centre of town.
