SatScenes: Nerja Cannon

Apologies for the lack of updates of late – my schedule is hectic. Not only do I currently have quite a few jobs on at present but my exercise regime is really busy too. In between walking, interval training and swimming all I seem to do is work! But I am hoping for a payoff come August when I intend to take the month off to celebrate my (hopefully) greatly reduced moi :)

SatScenes: New Years Eve

New Years Eve was spent on the Balcon de Europa in Nerja. It was a fun night with lots of champagne but a lower key affair than previous years owing to the cutbacks. Still everyone seemed to be having fun.

At this point we were on the 30 minute countdown to New Year :)

Happy New Year!

SatScenes: Christmas Lights on the Balcon de Europa

More Christmas lights have appeared in the main public areas in Nerja. These are the beautiful lights on the Balcon de Europa.

SatScenes: Christmas Decorations of Nerja

The christmas decorations have been cut back this year owing to the present financial climate. There are fewer than previous years and, apparently, the ayuntamiento are hoping that individual store holders pull their fingers out to make their own stores look extra special this year to make up for the reduced street decorations. The roundabouts have had a makeover this last day though – a lovely snowman decorates a large roundabout coming into Nerja!

SatScenes: Out to sea…

A morning walk along the coastline.  Several small fishing boats were nearby and, further out to sea, a large cruise liner could be seen on the horizon.

SatScenes: Storms over Nerja

The storm rumbled on for much of the evening and into the night. Sadly by the time my battery had re-charged the best of the lightening had passed by.

SatScenes: Another sunrise…

I realise so many of my satscenes lately have been either the sun rising or setting but, honestly, who can blame me? I had intended to utilise some photos of the residents of the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary today (photos coming up) but when I saw this quick snap I took at 7.30am I just couldnt resist…

SatScenes: Another day…


Taken as yesterday drew to a close…I enjoy my evening walks along Playa Playazo as the sun sets. Its a very romantic setting.

SatScenes: Storm Damage Playa Torrecilla

October brought the first of winter rough seas and the damage to Playa Torrecilla was fairly bad. Much of the sand near Restaurante Playa Torrecilla has been swept away by the waves revealing the rocks beneath – and taking part of a road and the path with it. Not only various beach umbrellas were dislodged but also the shower area and a palm tree…

If this is the damage from the first of the winter storms one has to wonder the state of the beach by the beginning of next holiday season…
