Well, it turns out I have to keep teaching teaching private classes until the very end of June (up until literally 2 days before I leave), which is keeping me busy enough. I was originally planning on taking my last week in Spain entirely off, but now we can throw that proposition out the window. However, with the
unforeseen extra income I'll make by month's end, I'm taking advantage to book it to the beaches for the weekends that remain (not for the least of motives that it's supposed to
surpass 100 degrees this week in Sevilla).
So, this past Friday and Saturday I headed to
Marbella, in the province of
Málaga, your Orlando of Spain. Tourists, beaches, beach bars, golf courses - your typical vacation/retirement city, minus the theme parks. I can't really speak to how much local culture it hosts, but I can say that it's the first place in Spain that I've encountered where most everything was
translated perfectly into English (this is no small detail; visit anywhere but and you'll see what I mean). If this doesn't scream ultimate tourist summer destination, I don't know what does.

You get the picture. Didn´t do much more than lounge on the beach and work on my tan, which is getting real nice, by the way. That, and my blablacar adventure, but we´ll save those stories for another day.
Coming up next weekend: (back to)
Granada, then the beaches of
Almería!
