Orange wine from Huelva County
There are few such pleasures to the palate as slowly sipping a glass of orange wine from Huelva County. A delicious local liquor that has now been denomination of origin for several months. This aromatised liquor is patiently aged in American oak barrels and to compensate its natural sweetness, sun-dried orange peel is later added. Better served with ice, orange wine from Huelva County has a different taste by day or by night, or if we decide to accompany it with chocolate and other sweets, or sweet and sour salads or a cheese board. Orange wine from Huelva County is the latest sensation from a large area in the south east of this province of Andalusia. This is a -

The film set of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Park
In the middle of the Second World War, the archaeologist Indiana Jones and his father were escaping from the Nazi planes on a beach theoretically located in Jordan. Some three decades before, the archaeologist and writer Thomas Edward Lawrence had a thousand and one adventures supposedly in North Africa, but not actually there. What do the intrepid Indiana Jones and T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, have in common? Very simple, both are characters in films and both saw their adventures developed in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Nature Park in the south east of the Andalusian province of Almería. Since the 1950s, the solid ar -

Sierra Nevada: song of sun and snow
It may seem strange, but it is always worth wearing a swimsuit, even when you're going skiing. No, this advice is not the product of any kind of dementia typical of the bold lovers of extreme cold, but of the particular location of Sierra Nevada, the southernmost ski resort in Europe. How many natural winter sports facilities are an hour’s drive from the delicious beaches of the Mediterranean Sea? Let me help. Just one! Sierra Nevada! Sierra Nevada is in the province of Granada in the heart of Andalusia, a region much better known for its warm sun than for winter sports. Despite this, it is a ski resort with 102 kilometres of skiing area, 30 ski lifts and over 100 slopes. -

Joe Strummer and the south
“Because I'm a romantic”. This is the explanation that Joe Strummer, the singer and guitarist of The Clash, gave when he came to Granada in 1984. This is what Strummer told Juan Jesús García, a journalist from Diario de Granada and author of the photographs in this text, in an interview at the end of the year. Days later, after asking in the Albaicín district for 091, the local group that was taking off on the musical stage at the time, he ended up in the Silbar, a bar in calle Pedro Antonio de Alarcón that brought together everyone who was somebody on the Granada rock stage. This is where he met Jesús Arias, another journalist -
Amongst lemons, south of Granada
Golco, Válor, Órgiva, Ugíjar... These are villages in La Alpujarra, an abrupt, wild area rich in Andalusian mountain scenery, on the southern side of Sierra Nevada. More than 50 villages are scattered across these primitive lands. One of them, Yegen, received a British writer Gerald Brenan in the 1920s, who was so struck by it that he set up residence there for over a decade and immortalised the village and the whole area in his book Al sur de Granada. Brenan was fascinated by the simple spontaneity of the people, their language and customs and so he carefully noted down everything he saw, third and experienced. The result is this work, -
Viva.....!
I am having difficulty travelling now, due to age and general infirmity, but I am determined to try the train next! In Spain my arthritis virtually disappears, leaving me able to walk for hours, whereas a couple of hours here in the north of England leave me exhausted and needing a siesta! But even that isn't the same as in Espania! I am a photo enthusiast - but no David Bailey! Just that I can't seem to take enough pictures to remind me of my holidays in Spain - and the Canaries! The quality of light not only encourages my 'snapping' but gives such a cheerful feeling, I truly wish I could dare to live there....No more 'SAD' episodes.... &nb -
