The In-Laws arrive

Sorry I have not posted this sooner but having the family over has not given me a lot of free time to sit down and write anything. I think I mentioned it in my previous post that we were going to be hosting Nadia’s family over the last two weeks. 

They arrived the Tuesday before Easter and we went to pick them up from Malaga airport, and even though the weather was not nice and sunny, at least it was warmer than in Bulgaria. As I stood there waiting for them to come out of the arrival lounge the realization of their visit finally set in and even made me practice a bit of my welcome to them in Bulgarian (which by the way I speak very little of).

So after a few minutes we saw them slowly making their way out and Nadia held up a sign saying welcome. I tried in my best Bulgarian to also welcome them which in turn gave them a big smile and they commented that my Bulgarian had improved since I last saw them. 

So we made our way back to Gibraltar via the scenic route which in this case was the motorway by the sea as Nadia was catching up with them.

The next day my parents had invited us all to dinner - my mum had spent all day cooking and like in true Llanito fashion there was a lot of food and plenty of wine to wash it down with. My mum had made some local dishes like torta de acelga and calentita. After dinner Nadia’s mum gave my parents and the rest of the family gifts which went down a treat before the port was served.

 

We visited a few places while they were here - Granada, Ronda, Tarifa and also a short break in Morocco, and these are only to mention a few things we had planned about but more about in the following posts
