2nd May 2011 (day 3)
Despite the fact that Anna went to bed late last night we were not able to have a real lay in. At 8am it was time to get up. We had already planned a tour we wanted to take today. The plan was to drive further away from the coast to see the inland of Spain and see if that was something that suited us and our needs. The first stop was at Medina Sidonia, a small white village which we already checked out online and wanted to see in real life. After a bit of a search we found a parkingspot and started walking down the small alleys. It was mainly uphill, but a good work out is never amiss! After a short walk we ended up at the towncenter where we sat down and enjoyed a great tapas mixta. After our short break we continued our trip. We drove through another couple of villages and finally ended up int Vejer de la Frontera. This was also a place we wanted to check out. We had to walk uphill most of the time, again, but we are getting used to it. Anna was stealing the show and chatted to the locals. Although we don't think she understood them and vice versa it was lovely to see how easy it was for her to get in contact with the Spanish people. After our walk we ended up at a small bar and decided to enjoy a little Spanish snack. The food is so simple but so tasty!! 
It was a quiet and relaxing day, but also gave us some insights. During our trip we realised that this area is not the place for us. Yesterday, we went to Rota and it felt so comfortable and pleasant. This is a feeling we did not have today. Of course it helped that it was beautiful weather yesterday, but we do not think that a little bit of sunshine would change our opinion about the region. It does mean that we can scratch some places of our list. Luckily for us, we are still convinced that we want to move to Spain. We have just realised that we want to focus our search on the coastal area instead of the inlands.
