Spain 2013 Day 3--Conil de la Frontera and Vejer de la Frontera

On our way out of town today we passed by a cute children's clothing store. This picture is not that great but it shows you how people dress their children in Spain--very dressy! Children are daily in what we would call our "Sunday best". Ricardo said in Bilbao (where he is from) they dress up even more! A lot of these clothes remind me of how southerners love to dress their kids. Smocking anyone?

We drove south to the seaside town of Conil de la Frontera. It was very windy (LeeAnn I stole some pictures from your blog)!

You'll be seeing a lot more of photos like this. Flower pots hung on the walls are everywhere in Andalucia. We are planning to steal the idea and bring it to our backyard!

After stopping for more Salmorejo, we drove to the nearby town of Vejer de la Frontera where we saw the two sweetest cats trying to stay warm (it was unseasonably cold)

We had lunch at an excellent middle eastern restaurant that LeeAnn and Ricardo had been to before, El Jardin del Califa.

When we were done with lunch, the sun had come out!

That night back in Arcos, we had tapas at the Parador (more Salmorejo and my favorite in Spain, Croquetas!)
