The Villa in Mollina

The villa in the village of Mollina is actually the house of Gary, the owner of the little tour company "Tour Andalucia" who looked after us during our six days in Andalucia.  Before he bought it it was a farm house, and he restored and extended it to provide about five guest rooms plus the shared dining room, lounge, patios, etc.

The Villa

It is well set up for dining outside, lounging by the pool, and other summery activities, but there is frost on the ground each morning at this time of year, so we were not able to indulge ourselves!  Gary operates a small fleet of comfortable people-movers and normally takes groups of just 2 to 6 people on each outing.

We set out early each morning (about 9:30 am!) and drove for 60 or 90 minutes to get to each of those cities we visited.  Most of the roads are excellent.  Gary speaks Spanish and English - he is from Liverpool - and is very interested in the history of the area.  His storytelling filled most of the travel time, and he also gave us quite detailed Spanish lessons while driving, once he realised we were keen to learn.  It was just Sue and I and Gary every day, as this is a quiet time of year for his tour business, so we got to know each other quite well.
