December 2018…
Iberia Lounge
Well, it was a pretty easy flight JFK to Madrid. Grabbed a couple of hours in the comfortable Iberia lounge at the glorious Madrid Barajas airport, then squeezed into the little jet to Malaga. That’s only about an hour trip and voila! here we are. Suitcases from arrivals, taxi out front, and we were in our new apartment one hour after we landed. We were met by the owners, Gary and Ralph, two Brits who seem to have quite a nice business with a few properties around here. They’re on VRBO here.
San Felipe Neri
This is a new neighborhood for us and we both love it: San Felipe Neri, named, of course, for the small church right across the street. It’s a ten minute walk to heart of the city and all our favorites were awaiting us with open arms. Cafes, churches, bars, and beggars. I’m already re-acquainting my ears to Malaga Spanish. To recreate this distinctive sound, try this experiment: fill your mouth with marbles and recite your favorite poem as quickly as you can.
