Exploring Mijas, Fuengirola and Sacred Ground...

I got up a little earlier today and went for a run along the coast, from our hotel to the marina... I also wanted to take a look at the promenade here in Benamaldena, Paseo Maritimo... very impressive, lush in places with palms, grass and flowers, even on the beach... there are some nice restaurants (although it looks like the majority are closed for the winter season) cafes, some villas, hotels and some shops at the far end near the marina. Everyday we have noticed people cleaning the streets, pavements and beaches... it is really nice and clean... no litter, dog muck and loose dogs and cats for that matter... It is really nice to see people taking pride in their home town... or is it the council here that still have money...

Today we decided to explore Mija, a village above Fuengirola up in the mountains... we took the scenic route from Benamaldena up into the centre, where we stopped for coffee and cake... and saw the beautiful sights of the coastline and Fuengirola below... It is bigger than we expected and quite far away from the coast...  We came down another way into the town below Fuengirola and headed towards the marina... We parked up and took a short walk around the marina where we found 'hidden' from view lots of restaurants and bars open for lunch and dinner...

Walking along the harbour something I sensed made me stop and look around... and in the water I saw lots of big fish swimming about in clear water below...  we continued walking to the end and back, stopping again by the fish and decided to have lunch at this spot in the Restaurant Bella Vista... Reservation 646 048 421.   Today we were not eating too much... giving our stomachs a bit of a rest, so we just ordered a nice glass of house red wine, an egg mayonnaise and a roast beef and onion baguette... simple but delicious and just what we needed today...  

It was nice looking out on the many yachts in the harbour and people watching...  I noticed many people stopping, sometimes men and sometimes women, but only ever one of them... just stopping and looking around as if they sensed something... some of them noticed the fish before moving on...  It was nice to see the fish here... it must be clean water... but i also sensed that it was something more... I stood by the water for a moment and asked one of the fish to make a big circle in the water if what I sensed was correct... and YES not only by one big one but all her babies followed too... 

The Earth has many energy centres, vortexes.. It is a permanent connection between the cosmos and the earth (imagine a vertical column of light flowing down from the skies deep into the earth)... it is where the human can connect to their spirit and soul more easily... as the veils, the separation between the physical and spirit is most thin in these places...  All ancient churches and sacred sites were all built on these vortexes as a place for a person to understand self, spirit and soul... So back to my observation of the fishes and people sensing something... even myself... YES there are fishes here, but it is also a place where your spirit and soul sings... but are you listening...  It is an opportunity for us to awaken to something more than our physical being... and the fishes are here to help us realise this...
