The little town Sedella, with just over 600 inhabitants in the Andalusia region of Spain, sits in the foothills of the Sierra Tejedra mountains, about an hour and a half drive from Malaga. Megan and I got to spend 3 weeks here enjoying everything this special place has to offer. For the first 2 weeks …
