Before heading down to my uncle’s house near Estepona yesterday afternoon I took the opportunity of paying a morning visit to the Alcazba, the palace of the Moors. Not quite of Granada’s Alhambra standard but interesting nevertheless and as I was the only tourist in the place (there were quite a few workers doing a bit of spring cleaning, painting and pruning), it was a very nice, relaxing way to spend my first morning back on the continental mainland.
