Daily Drena: No smoke alarms anywhere!
This place feels like vacation, and we are making our best attempts to unwind. This means sleeping in and trying not to feel too much pressure to explore everything all at once.
We are excited to have an oven again, the first one so far in Spain, so we immediately try to cook a pizza the proper way. Our Granada way was to cut it up into pieces to heat in the microwave, then put it on a pan on the stove for final crisping. Diego presses a lot of buttons on the oven, and when we open it, waves of billowing smoke spews out. We turn it off and actually find the oven manual in a drawer, but pressing the buttons again only produces more smoke. We start the self-clean operation, but after looking around our smoke-filled condo, we decide we would rather not use the oven than set the place on fire or breathe it in all week, so we bail and take the microwave-to-pan approach once more. (Where’s that Calle Horno when we need it?) We spend the rest of the day finding a balance between airing out the place and trying not to freeze the place. Later, we take a drive to a nearby beach to explore a bit.
The coast is so beautiful and our view from our smoky condo is amazing!

- Ibex, we think.
What a beautiful place and view, in spite of the oven!
Spectacular view from your balcony!!! You could really get used to that.
Are those goats? What are they eating?
Dad just came to take a peak. He wondered “what’s the deal with the blanket? ”
This is a great working vacation. Enjoy!! and I know you are!

We think they were ibex, but not positive. They were definitely different than normal goats. They were just scrounging the grass they could find. When we drove by the next day, they were gone.
The blanket was just for coziness! 🙂
