Heading back to Spain




First of all look at this gorgeous view of a farmhouse and 10 hectares with the whole of Fes laid out in the valley below.

Well have been back in Vejer now for a week,a change of pace after the buzzing Medina and in the serious process of selling my house here to re-invest in Morocco. Have had agents round all week and all quite positive which is good so we'll have to wait and see.
On way back to Spain stopped off in Chefchaouen to meet up with a new friend John an english teacher who lives in Toulouse but maintains a pied a terre in Chaoen, i was very impressed with the blue rinsed medina and Johns funky place in the pirate quarter which he bought for 7000 euros 4 years ago and spent 10000 to do up. its the equivalent of my place in spain but a tenth of the price!! This is why Moroccos getting my money cos there are bargains left right and centre.
The whole town is getting major renovation and investment and is set to be a St Tropez of the mountains in the future. i would love a funky retreat here as an escape from Fes and its also close,60k to the buzzing north coast so have put John on the case. He is a great local character here a 64 year old gin and tonic Brit with a great lust for life and the moroccan way and was a great guide, he took me to the restaurant with terrace views inland which was stunning and a recent addition to the cuisine of the area.
