This is a space where the cliffs and the houses have made their marriage for a good many years and it was a masterful process, a lesson not in eroding but in fitting.

When you have 4 weeks to spend in Spain
…why not spend most of that in Andalusia? See what ideas we cooked up when a friend visited us for four weeks.
