Welcome to Spain!


Our 19 spirited travelers braved what seemed like two days of travel (We lost 7 hours!) and arrived at our hotel in Torremolinos at about 6 PM today, March 12. All three plane rides went smoothly with good weather. We had ample time to explore the airport in Madrid after our 9.5 hour flight from DFW. Our flight from Madrid to Malaga lasted just over one hour. We then mounted a bus for the 10 mile jaunt to Torremolinos where we will be staying until Thursday. We were treated to an expansive buffet at the hotel (Gran Cervantes pictured above) this evening and had a chance to meet our tour director, Mercedes, who will be with us for the remainder of the trip. After a busy day of travel, tomorrow morning's departure time of 6:15 will come early! We are heading to Morocco for a day-long excursion. The weather is pleasantly cool, about 55 degrees F, but it may threaten to rain throughout the week. Stay posted for more updates of our journey through Andalusia. Feel free to email me at kingfisherspanish@gmail.com, as I will check it at least once daily.
