Pedregalejo / Salobreña / Granada
On Thursday we hired a car for a day trip to Granada. We chose this day as the weather forecast was for only 24 which is unusual as Granada consistently hits the high 30s and above at this time of year. Another factor was that the cruise ship app indicated that there wouldn't be any ships in port, Málaga is a popular port as the passengers can then take a day trip to Granada.
We had booked the car pick up for 10am but the company was so slow dealing with customers and paperwork that it was 10.45 before we got on the road. K had hoped to reach a potter's workshop in the coastal town of Salobreña by 12pm, which meant we were cutting it really fine.
We made it to the workshop of the raku and crystalline ceramicist with about 10 minutes to spare. K of course bought some pots so the potter was happy to stay open late, however as he only accepted cash we had to deal with the narrow roads of the hillside village to head into town to find an ATM.
We arrived into Granada in time for a 2pm lunch to discover it was just as beautiful as when we visited in 2015, and this time fortunately not as hot or as crowded.
After the Granada visit we drove back to Malaga where K was dropped off at La Termica not far from Misericordia beach to attend a raku demonstration by a Japanese potter, while M returned the car to the main railway station.
M walked back along the long promenade to the point on the beach closest to La Termica, and met back up with K for dinner at yet another Italian restaurant (can you notice a theme here?).
