Ah, We were married in Nerja more than 10 years ago. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy before it 'became popular' with Irish people to be wed there. When we told people we were to be married there, they asked 'where?' and most had never heard of it. And as for Mijas, please, may as well have been Mongolia. Which is what we loved about it, it was a little different., back in the day! Well, in answer to my own question, we are probably set on a villa in Portugal, for ease of access, short flight, and a spot of nice weather. Bos the Fox. thanks for suggestions, but have been to ile de Re, and while it is a fantastic spot, I dont fancy it again. And with regards to Portugal, based on friends advise, we will probably fly to Lisbon and drive down. We always hire a car anyway, so we may as well make use of it. DH has driven all over Europe, so no big deal there thankfully. And flights this year were significantly cheaper to Lisbon than Faro, so hopefully will be next year. Thanks Guys.!
