It has been a while since we were able to help Rasja and Wouter find a suitable location for their future B&B. In the meantime they have been successfully running Cortijo La Zapatera, in Canillas de Aceituno
Rasja & Wouter: “We have been living in Andalusia for almost 4 years now. We still really like living here in southern Spain. Not a day goes by that we don't enjoy the peace, the views and the nature. We have made new friends, speak the language and find our way in our white village, Canillas de Aceituno. The first six months of our stay we have made several improvements: the house and the flats have been given a Spanish soul, the rooms are equipped with all modern conveniences, the gardens have been planted and the various terraces got the necessary shade.

Where the Scandinavians have Midsummer Night, in almost all Spanish coastal towns we celebrate La Noche de San Juan on the night of 23 or 24 June. In this night, the first half of the year is ritually closed to welcome the summer. During this night, there are several customs - which may vary from region to region - but water and fire, the symbols of purification and protection, can be found everywhere.

This month, we asked Marita some questions about what she noticed in the housing market in the region of La Axarquía.
1. In some European countries, we are currently dealing with an overstrained property market. It is difficult for many people to buy a house in their own country at the moment. Do you see this reflected in the Spanish housing market? And how?
We have definitely seen an increase in the number of clients in the last year but fortunately we are not yet experiencing the same frenzy as in other European countries. Until now we are still managing to find suitable houses for our clients.

This year, the festival we had to days of fiesta, to also honor the Virgen de la Cabeza (the patron saint of the village). Many villagers and other partygoers gathered these 2 days in the Plaza de la Constitucíon, in the heart of the village to eat more than 300 kilos of Morcilla together, while enjoying a drink and good music.
