A gloriously sunny Sunday for the Nerja Donkey Sanctuary Fair, which was good news for all concerned. As well as being able to wander round the sanctuary as usual and say hello to all the inmates – donkeys, mules, horses, dogs, pot-bellied pigs etc – there were various stalls and activities going on.

Feria de Oportunidades, February 25th 2012
Good crowds at the Feria de Oportunidades in Plaza de España today with many bargains to be had. La Cueva, Europiel, Base Long Play, Pintada 43 and Phone House are amongst the companies plying their wares.

Work is currently going on along about two-thirds of calle El Barrio, from Plaza Cavana to La Tahona bread shop. It can get very dusty, right into Plaza Cavana, when the grooves are being cut in the concrete. Noisy, too.
Carnival procession 2012
The Carnival procession went without a hitch on Saturday, setting off only about fifty minutes behind schedule. A very colourful affair, as always, and a large number of participants. The procession took about ninety minutes to pass any given point.
Nerja Carnival, Friday February 17th 2012

Busy in town…
Strange weather at the moment. Warm in the sun, cool to cold in the shade and freezing indoors. Lots of people wandering about today with several large guided tour groups in the centre of town.
A change in the weather…
Bit of a change in the weather today, with cloud and the odd drop of the wet stuff. Snow playing havoc in parts of Andalucia. Nice skies and a rainbow this evening, though.
