We left the wonderful Cortijo La Forteleza on Saturday 11th October, under a shower of confetti where my aunt may have improvised a new custom of stuffing it into our underwear- apparently for that extra sparkle on our first night alone- but perhaps she was just trying to check out the new man in the family?
After such a wonderful afternoon send off, it was disappointing to learn on arrival in Malaga that the confetti wouldn’t be released just yet, as we had an overnight bus journey ahead of us to Alicante, departing 12.30, arriving 07.30. Naturally the best way to tackle the rest of the day was with a few ‘tinto de verano’s con limon’, a summer wine we developed a taste for during our time in Seville a few years back. Exhausted and sedated we settled into our ‘bed’- thanks Paul and Misun, the pillows are invaluable- and hardly woke until arrival in Alicante. (Which they didn’t announce and only briefly stopped, thus luckly we didn’t end up in Barcelona!). May all our bus journeys ahead be like that one- I guess one of those side pockets on the rucksack can carry the wine! A hop skip across the road led us to the bus that led us to the airport, that led us to our ‘on time’ Ryanair flight to Pisa.
