The Irish Pub in the Hotel

The boys looked forward to our late evening trip down to the Irish pub whiched opened at 11pm with family entertainment.  Lots of children even ones sleeping in strollers!  It was a good family time with the boys as we would team up for some pool for 2 euro a game.
Waiting to play some pool in the Irish pub.
No Guinness for me!  but I  the bar was so cute I needed a picture.

Fuengirola in the background as we drove by the beach walk, this was the next town over just south of where we stayed in Benalmadena.

Mijas

Here's Sean next to the Nissan Micra we had to drive around in for a week!  Funny, very funny! lol
Not sure what this was but it was under this huge rock.

This was a restaurant in the tower that was next to the little building above.

Kimo took a picture of this square where there was more shopping and more restaurants.

Cute Bakery in Mijas

The boy's enjoying there Cocoa on this cool spring day.
Okay we're just kidding we really aren't that happy following Mom down every street and waiting for here to shop.
Look Dad we are acting like we are having fun!
One of Seans many faces!  

It was a cool day and it was time for some coffee and hot cocoa..... we also added some pasteries that were okay at this cute Bakery / Coffee house:)

Typical streets in Mijas

Sean and Kimo walking down a typical street in lined with stores for the tourist
Taking the stairs up to the next street, the store up ahead to the right is where I ended up going back to buy my Spanish pottery to take back home to remember my holiday in Spain.
Stores line the street in Mijas in cute white spanish buildings

16th Century Shrine of La Virgen Dela Pena

Beautiful Artifacts on Display.
Shrine where flowers are left and for so many Euros you can light a fake candle in the box which you can see to the left of the shrine.  There is a legend about how a bird of some kind lead two shepard boys to safety.  Also a image of the virgin was found in the a recess of a tower. There are several different stories as I was trying to research more about this place so not sure what is the correct info.
Shrine and display set in this cavern that sits next to the cliff that overlooks the Mediterranian Coast.  Enjoy the pictures because I guess you weren't suppose to take pictures in this religious shrine but of course no one was there when we walked in so I was snapping away!

Mijas

Kimo and Kerey headed towards the shops

This is what the color of the whole town was.  White Buildings!
Here I sit on this stone bench getting ready to check out some sites

We enjoyed this town with great views of Benalmadena and Fuengirola!  So pretty and it was a sunny day despite the cold chill that was in the air and the cool wind, burr!

Mijas

The boys and I up in Mijas and the beautiful view of the white homes located in this tourist town up in the mountains.
Yeah!! we going to see Spain!
George Jetson called and he wants his scooter back!

So after having a lack of sleep we slept in and I believe we went down to breakfast before 10am were we found nothing but English people which would explain why there was alot of English breakfast items which I was not found of!  Put it this way by the time I got all my food on my plate I had a lot of oil too!  Ick!  The sausages were not proper and the food was just bad...  none the less it was an all inclusive package deal so we were determined to get some of our money's worth of food and drink while on holiday.  So after that since it was a cool windy day we headed Mijas which was just up in the mountains behind our hotel.
