Nerja, Spain I flew to Manchester, UK, but immediately got swept off to Nerja, Spain, by my host, Sue. Nerja is in Andalucia and is about 50 km from Malaga. It's a lovely Spanish town that hasn't been spoilt by tourism. I loved Nerja, as avacadoes grow on trees in people's gardens! Here is a map of Andalucia and here is an article on its history. I loved my time in Spain and can't wait for Sue to show me Manchester next. This is a photo of me with my new hostess Sue. Behind us is a very old steep bridge. |

| One day, we went on a hike in the Sierra Almijara mountains. We walked along the river bed. Here I am cooling my paws as it was very hot! |
 |
|
| I made lots of friends in Nerja including my equine amigo Pablo. |
 |
|
| The iguanas Pinky and Perky were glad to make friends with me, too. They said I was the first tourist rat they'd met. Pinky and Perky spend all day at the beach in the sun. That'd be too hot for me! Muy caliente! |
 |
|
| I was very busy keeping Spain safe from pirates. |
 |
|
| It was so hot that when we reached the village of Maro, Sue and Mark stopped for a refreshing beer. Sue told me that beer was bad for rats, but I had some anyway. Ah, cerveza maravilloso! |
 |
|
| Oops! I soon found out why beer is bad for you. |
 |
|
| We visited some caves near Nerja. It's very dark in a cave! |
 |
|
| I was very impressed by the caves; maybe another host in the future will be able to take me to another one. I had no idea the world below our feet could be so interesting! |
