Steve and Norma's retirement jaunts in Spain, Ireland and the UK

Norma says I can never sit still! Since we retired about ten years ago, we've bought a lovely apartment in Nerja, Spain. We've also moved our permanent home to Roosky, Ireland where we also have a Cruiser boat on the River Shannon. Our plans are to spend our summers cruising the rivers of Ireland and our winters relaxing in our Spanish home. It doesn't always work out that way!

Seville and Orsuna Trip

Here are some photos of our trip to Seville and Orsuna, where we stayed in the Hotel Palacio del Marques de la Gomero. The town, and the hotel with its beautiful baroque balcony has featured in many films including ” Callas Forever” about Maria Callas. It starred Fanny Ardant and Jeremy Irons.

The town and the hotel have recently been the film set for Game of Thrones.

Seville, by coincidence, was in the middle of a traditional Fiesta of Costume and was filled with hundreds of Spanish locals in traditional clothes including of course the women but also the men, children and Carriage drivers. Quite spectacular!
