The clocks have gone back and it's Halloween on Saturday. The witches of the nearby village of Soportujar will soon be celebrating Noche de las Brujas: Night of the Witches. This ancient custom is celebrated in November around All Souls'/ Halloween traditions.
Currently we've got beautiful sunny and bright blue Autumn skies, but it's definitely cooler overnight. Never fear, there's a duvet back on the bed - and a throw and hot water bottles to hand.
The weather during the day is perfect for sitting in the garden, reading a good book or just staring at the stunning views of the Sierra and watching the leaves turn from green to golds and the catkins set for Spring. The sunsets at this time of year are truly spectacular.
If you're feeling more energetic the pleasant temperatures encourage us to take a hike or maybe a gentle stroll through our beautiful countryside.
Currently we are preparing the swimming pool with a final clean before the cover goes on for the winter. And there's pruning to be done, Spring bulbs to be planted and wood to be chopped before we start lighting the log burner in the Cortijo.
It's a wonderful time of year.
Come see for yourself.
