26 views

Santuario Nuestra Señora de Flores

The Shrine is also known as "Convento de Flores". It was built in XVI century and expanded in XVIII century. It has a single nave of simple architecture and a semicircular main chapel from the Baroque Period. It is dedicated to the image of the "Virgen de Flores", Patron Saint of Álora.

Outside, there is a viewpoint from where you can enjoy the splendid landscape of "El Chorro", "El Torcal" and the Guadalhorce River's Valley.

Yes the sky is lovely at this time of year Bill, we get gorgeous sunsets too!

I'm really going to miss home next week, I'm going back to England for a few days to visit my mum....it will no doubt be wet and very cold. :-0

maybe especially this time of year?

Keep in touch, I am still having a lot of pain, physical therapy is going very slowly and I still can't drive. Since I'm the only driver in the house (Gail in emergency only - Christopher not at all - and Roxy can't reach the brake pedal.:-)).

Depression is running rampant and my Vicodin isn't strong enough. Jeez, I wish I was one of those people that take it and are whisked away to Vicodin Land (do a search for the comedian Bill Engvall)

Hugs to you - is John going to England (him too either way)?

Yes especially this time of year, the sky is deep blue and the views crystal clear, none of that summer heat haze!

No John isn't going with me, for the first time in forty years I'll be going away without him....it's going to feel very strange and I suspect I'll miss him more than I know.

Sorry your still in pain Bill, I know first hand how it can get you down.
I'll write to you in the next couple of days before I go on Wednesday.

Hugs, Meg.
