Hi everyone, We went to Nerja today, it was a beautiful day around 80 degs.

First off all we went to Ayo´s Restaurant on the Beach for Paella and they cook it on an open fire, thought you might like to see how its done
There are also a few pics of other things in Nerja a my village.

Enjoy, just wish you could all have been there :(
