Casa Rural Asomadita...

When we presented the girls the choice of going skiing or seeking some sunshine for the February half term, they chose the sun. Luckily for us, Sally, John, David and Andrew also were in need of some sun, so we worked together to decide where to go. We eventually settled on Gran Canaria, one of the Canary Islands, located 150 miles from Morocco. 
There weren’t a lot of vacation rentals on the island that slept at least eight, but I managed to find Casa Rural Asomadita just outside the fishing village of Agaete. The photos don’t do this charming and spacious house justice. Built in 1950, it has been modernized with a lot of care.
We ate breakfast in the eat-in kitchen, but dinner in the dining room, which Veronica also used for studying.
We spent several evenings in the living room watching movies in front of a fire. While Sally investigated day trips, Jimmy worked on editing the panto video.
No doubt that the boys’ favorite room was the games room.
Ashlynn and Andrew took advantage of this wall to practice their juggling.
