Spain 2006

We had a wonderful week on the Costa del Sol in June 2006. We stayed in an apartment at Miraflores with some good friends from church and saw a fair bit of the surrounding coast and countryside. This gallery will contain the best of the 2000+ shots I took while we were there!!

Wonderful tour and images, Chris. I especially like the various boat images and the clever way you subdivided this by topic without using sub galleries. ~BV~

Wonderful gallery. Thanks for a very thorough and well-shot tour! V

A lovely gallery. Absolutely fantastic shots. We own timeshare here near Elvira and near Estepona, so we're familiar with some, but not all of the places you photograph. The places we know, your photos make us want to go back right now. The places we don't know, your photos motivate us to visit for ourselves. Fortunately our next trip is next month. Now if only my photos can capture and convey the essence of Costa del Sol like yours do.

There is no need for thanking of looking your pics. I thank for sharing. Best Regards

I like the photos of Ronda. The word "ronda" in Hungarian means ugly, which is just the opposite what I can see on the photos :-)

Great start to a new series Chris - can hardly contain myself for three weeks! Love the Bald Eagle. What about a series entitled 'Views from my sunbed'! By the way, Mihas is spelled Mijas. Keep the creations coming! Colin
