A week ago we wrapped up a marathon 17-day family visit—first with David's mom Dolores and sister Nora, and then with my mom, brother Colin and his wife Tiffany. In fact, Dolores' departing flight was on the evening of the day that my folks arrived, so the Polidors and Curiels got to enjoy a lunch out together. (Thanks, families—we had a terrific time and we miss you already!)
My family flew in and out of, and Dolores also departed from, Málaga, Andalucía's second-largest city, less than two hours from Granada. Because it's on the coast, near a long stretch of beachfront vacation megaplexes popular with sun-hungry northern Europeans—the European equivalent to Florida—Málaga brings in lots of cheap flights. (Those of you thinking about paying us a visit: hint hint!) For David and I, this provided a nice opportunity to explore a new place.
