Last Days in Spain

Spent the last few days in Spain with Tanja. On Thursday we meet in a highway town which everyone passes through but no one stops at. We decided to meet there after Tanja finished Kid’s Club in Marbella. Had a wander around and now no why not many people stop at Encina Reales. Nothing bad about the place, you just wonder how same places come to be. Went into Lucena, the Furniture town with the Big Chair for pizza.

Got up early on Friday and drove to Iznajar, a pueblo blanco (white village) set high on a hill. A beautiful spot which seemed to have had a lot of English contact. It seems that this part of Andulcia is attracting more and more English tourists who are venturing inland from the Costa del Sol. Iznajar has a dam surrounding it.

Later we traveled to Priego de Cordoba along the back rounds through the olive groves. The type of place you could imagine buying an old farm house and renovating. I think it would be cheap… had a sticky beak at the famous Fountains and Balconies of Priego. This city also has an evangelical church.

Friday night and Saturday was the Cabra Evangelical Churches Men’s Retreat in the country house of Rafealti. Its call Bernabe – the encourager. It was a good weekend with Brett opening up 2 Timothy 2 verses 1 to 8. Good fellowship, food and fun.

Tomorrow I say goodbye to the wonderful people at Cabra and head to Portugal to catch up with the ECM missionaries there.
