Cute hostal La Ninfa en Granada....

Is it because today is Friday, but I feel inexorably sloppy and lazy and the one thing which crossed my mind this morning amidst a fair amount of worries - all related to work but with no gravity - was : where are we going to spend the King's night, next january ? Since two years Monchéri and I started to have routines or let's rather call it sentimental habits. Spending the Epiphany night (la noche de los reyes) in a nice place in Granada is one of those milk and honey habits. Since then, el Ladron de Agua has always been a favorite because of its heavy wooden door, its crisp linen bedsheets and its amazing views onto the Alhambra but I guess this time, our budget for milk and honey rituals will be drastically reduced. Never mind, a nice colourful hostal will do. La Ninfa is situated right on the plaza de Principe, a charming square with bars and restaurants at the foot of the Alhambra.



I haven't seen the rooms yet but the colorful plates on the walls act like vitamin C on my brain...

Meanwhile, I wish you a perfect week end (full of fun, Belgian chocolates, English humor, fizzy drinks and tutti quanti). I leave you in the company of my little neighbor, right around the corner.

ps : suddenly being hit by a touch of pessimism- may be we should just give up our sentimental habits ? I can hear you say horrified : "oh no...this is what keeps a couple from getting rusty!"
Right then...er..may I ask...do you have any sentimental rituals ? :-)

I would not mind such a pretty hostel myself!

As for sentimental rituals, I've got plenty. I'm really on for sentiment. That gives me an idea for a next post! ;-)

Oh! I love the synchronicity of the blogging world. This morning I was contemplating writing about happy rituals. Now, I think I must.

You are right about my response at least. You must not stop your milk and honey rituals. (Great term, by the way.) Those rituals are what gives life its sweetness.

We have many rituals in our family. One of my favorites is the Saturday morning cuddle. I think I love it most because it developed without intention. Every Saturday morning I try to sleep in. Every Saturday morning Sloane never does. She climbs in beside me and we cuddle and laugh and play. We've stayed in bed for hours some weeks. I love it.

Great post, and you must certainly not give up on your milk and honey rituals!

We have chosen to forgo birthday gifts in lieu of travel. For the past 6 years we have celebrated our birthdays in different countries. Not sure we will always be able to do so on our birthdays, but we will continue to use our savings for travel.

What an enchanting place! I love those colors, and that raw light. And I'd like to ride the horse!
