It’s time for the last blog post for this year. When we purchased La Perla de Frigiliana in March this year, we never expected this year to go by so fast. This was exceptional for us, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We are so much looking forward to next year and all the already booked retreats or single stays here at La Perla. But let’s wrap up the last bits of this year before that.
Some of our guests have said that it was difficult to find us for the first time. We are visible on Google and many other map services, but we didn’t like that comment and decided to do something about it. We searched for a place that could make an authentic mosaic sign for us, but we couldn’t find one to make large enough. So, we decided to make it ourselves. It wasn’t that easy, and it took a few attempts, but we made it and now we have a sign! We hope it makes it easier for our guests to find us now.
In mid-November we had a private “Little Christmas” party here. It was a great opportunity for us to decorate our courtyard ready for Christmas and start turning La Perla into a cozy Christmas Villa. As Finns coming from the winter wonder land where the real Santa lives, Christmas has a special place in our hearts. We are fully booked for Christmas, and we hope we can offer a good Christmas spirit to our guests. If you want to experience a true Finnish Christmas, go check out our Finnish partners web site for more info (https://www.rukavillas.com/en/).
November wasn’t fully booked, so we actually had some time to ourselves to further explore the region. We have done some hiking in the area, but we hadn’t conquered La Cruz de Pinto landmark on top of the hill opposite our Villa, so we did that. It was a good hike, and the views were just spectacular from the top. You can make a circle from La Perla through Frigiliana and La Cruz de Pinto or the other way around or just go back and forth from the Villa as we did. In that way it was little over 7kms hike with mostly easy road or trail. More info on this and other hiking trails you can find here: https://www.alltrails.com/es/ruta/spain/malaga/frigiliana-cruz-de-pinto.
With this picture from the top, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year of 2025!
Until next time, with love, Maarit & Hannu
