That's the Rock of Gibraltar taken in Spain, a few km before we pass customs.
Overview picture of Gibraltar and the Spanish side. Only the tip with the rock belongs to the British.
Map view of the coastline of Gibraltar.
To the left and forward is North Africa. You can see a faint outline of land in the far distance. Weather wasn't good that day so visibility wasn't very good.
To the right is Spain.
There is also a mosque in Gibraltar, mainly for the Moroccan Muslim population.
A skull! Thought that it would interest Gen and Marisa. Haha... The cave was used as a military hideout during the wars.
Stalactites and stalacmites.
There is also a concert hall in the cave. Making use of the surrounding stalactites and stalacmites, the echo effect and the fact that it is so enclosed, music played here is fabulous.
A sign on the way out.
The Rock is also home to around 230 Barbary Macaques, known as 'apes', the only wild monkeys found in Europe. There is also a superstition which states that if the monkeys ever leave, so will the British. And there is also a story, dunno whether it is true, that the Queen ordered more of these monkeys to be shipped and placed in Gibraltar when the number of monkeys were decreasing in the past.
One monkey hiding behind a rock.
Plaza de España
Close up of the fountain in the middle.
You can see the Moorish influence in the architecture.
Even the artwork on the bridge is beautiful.
There was also murals for each place in Spain, made up of elaborate painted tiles. These detailed pieces flanked the walls of the Plaza in a semi-circle.
One of the pieces. This is for Barcelona.Yup, and this ends my 5th day and also my post. Haha...I still have like 7 days to go. Omg..is anybody bored yet?!
The entrance.
Another entrance. The path to the garden.
One of the entrances.
The entrance to the garden, also known as Torres Generalife. No, it's not pronounced as "general life", but sounds totally different. Dun ask me how to pronounce it coz I forgot.
A view in the garden.
There were tons of flowers and roses, all huge in size..like the size of my face or something. They were beautiful!
Another view in the garden. The woman standing there is from the same tour group.
Another view in the garden. The whole garden is filled with plants, trees, all kinds of flowers, fountains, streams, etc.
Another view
Still in the garden...
Finally the entrance! It took us like dunno how long...maybe an hour or something to walk through the garden.
A view of the inside.
You can see the carved wooden ceiling with the carved Islamic architecture.
A view of some windows. You can see how elaborate the architecture is.
A close up view of one of the entrances to some part of the palace. The entire wall and pillars are all carved.
Another view of the walls.
The stalactite-like architecture is evident in all the ceilings in the palace. And notice those blue porcelein pieces embedded into the architecture. I mean..how elaborate!
A wider view of one of the entrance to some part of the palace.
See the massiveness of the architecture? I mean...how long does it take to carve all these out?! And during that time, I'm sure it's all hand-carved.
One of the rooms in the Palace. There's a fountain like thing in the middle of the room and you can see that if it is filled with water, the water actually flows outwards via the little drain, right in the middle of the photo.
Mijas
The donkey taxis! Didn't sit on one though...they stank! Looks cute but...
Donkey riding wasnt that appealing either after the smell got too strong.
A small church at the top of a cliff.
The small church. Great view. Romantic.
One of the souvenier shops. Lots of pottery.
One of the streets in Mijas
Evening view from the hotel room
We also stopped at one of the famous coastlines of Spain called Costa Blanca in Alicante. It was bloody cold. Haha... We ate lunch there by the coast, and ordered their famous Paella. Yumm..
Costa Blanca in Alicante
Seafood Paella 
Cafe Cortado, which means coffee with less milk. And just for your info, coffee with milk is called Cafe con Leche. 
What's so fabulous about staying in this house is that because it's a cave, whenever you want an extension, just dig! This guy has been digging and building new rooms whenever he feels like it! 
They love hanging pottery on their walls.
He does small statues too! This is one of his works in progress.
The view at the top level of his house. And that's my mum. Haha..
The dance floor
Sangria! It's a Spainish cocktail made with red wine. Quite dry. Sangria reminded me of Geog lessons in JC where we learnt about tourism. Spain is known for the 3 'S'es. Sea, sex, sangria (alcohol). Lol.
