Mostly. Ju, as ever, is easy going about it all and handles my huffing, puffing and eye rolling with grace and patience. But in the end neither of us were up for staying in\u00a0Fuengiralo. The <a href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/free-night-fuengirola-costa-del-sol\/\">last blog post was written<\/a> in the afternoon while we were there. Come evening we&#8217;d rolled back the blinds, fired up the engine and driven down the free motorway here.<\/p>\n<p>Various factors shoved us along, not least the group of fringe-drinkers and dropouts openly getting battered on the park nearby. Sure, they were drinking the same no-brand lager as me, and sure, you could apply both dropout and fringe to me too, but I suspect they noticed me a little less than I noticed them. The both of us couldn&#8217;t fail to notice the &#8216;Richard the Third&#8217; which was deposited by either (a) a very large dog or (b) an average-sized human in the underpass next to the parking area (which trains rumbled over every few minutes), smearing it down the wall and leaving it in a distinctly desperate pile on the floor. Another bloke returning from the underpass doing his flies up was the final straw. Although it&#8217;s foolish to utter the word &#8216;never&#8217;,\u00a0Fuengiralo, I am never going back to.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27481\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27481\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27481\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_153407706-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Mijas: a million times nicer than Fuengirola\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_153407706-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_153407706-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_153407706-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_153407706-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27481\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mijas: a million times nicer than Fuengirola<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Here in Mijas is a different proposition. Although we&#8217;re in danger of being whacked with wayward gold balls (just the one so far &#8211; and we&#8217;ve since shifted further away from the course), the parking area feels safer, quieter, and shortly after we arrived only had the one fringe drunk in it. Me. The town&#8217;s strung out along the beach, and the development&#8217;s bent a knee to the sea, made up of low-rise villas and apartment blocks. After a short walk along the sun-heated boardwalk, I practically ran back to Zagan, fired up our share-dealing account and bought big into After Sun manufacturers. Safe to say, there was some life-threatening redness being acquired on the \u20ac10 a day loungers. At one point on the way back I almost knocked myself unconscious on the wall-to-wall pecs of three English blokes (everyone&#8217;s English here) strutting like peacocks on the beach . Yes, I was jealous.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27479\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_155849921-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_155849921-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_155849921-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_155849921-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_155849921-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The beach in Mijas is pristine, currently being bullied back into place by a team of &#8216;dozers ready for the season proper. The town is white, and has a pleasant feel to it, all restaurants and small bars, with the unmissable opportunity to procure a motorhome-sized blow-up flamingo lilo thrown in. A leaflet from the tourist office tells us that Mijas Pueblo, the old town up on the hill, has a famous donkey taxi service, built up from the days when tourists would tip more than a day&#8217;s wages to peasants in return for a go on their steed.<\/p>\n<p>I made a short, failed attempt to cycle up to the town earlier, getting distracted by cork oaks (yes, cork does grow on trees) and brand new luxury villas, complete with designer garden furniture and infinity pools. The latter had me staring. If development ever stopped here, it&#8217;s started up again, and in style. A small forest of cranes are swinging about in the hilly hinterland. A real estate paper has serious-looking suit-n-tie types relaying the fact Brexit&#8217;s reduced the number of British buyers, but the market&#8217;s got momentum again, and the missing Brits are being made up by other buyers. It&#8217;s buy-buy-buy again on the Costa del Sol.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27483\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27483\" class=\"size-full wp-image-27483\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170523_144222992-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"New luxury villas sat waiting for punters looking over Mijas\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170523_144222992-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170523_144222992-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170523_144222992-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170523_144222992-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27483\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New luxury villas sat waiting for punters looking over Mijas<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-27482\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_154854057-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_154854057-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_154854057-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_154854057-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170522_154854057-1024x576-678x381.jpg 678w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, after forgetting to pay the hosting bill for this blog, the hosting company disabled it, and I spent the morning trying to work out why it didn&#8217;t spring back to life after handing over the dosh. Ah, I&#8217;ve got the wrong name servers! What an idiot (!!!). They&#8217;re the right name servers now, after much faffing, but as this stuff has to copy itself around the world, and as the wrong settings get saved in people&#8217;s web browsers, it&#8217;ll take a day or two to fix itself.
