Breeze of spring
Hurray, days are perceptibly getting longer again! With 18 ºC yesterday night, it seems that spring will be here quite soon (I hope).
Coastal towers in Southern Spain
There are many watch towers in Southern Spain, all along the coast. I have always thought it would be nice to take a sabbatical and hike or bike from one to the other, reading about their history. Some of them are surrounded by nature, others are situated directly along the road (where it is difficult or impossible to park) or even in town, lost between concrete. Here are four of them, in three different provinces. The most beautiful area is, without hesitation, Caños de Meca, as it is a protected area. And from there, if it is not too foggy, you can see the Rif mountains in Morocco. Almuñécar (province of Granada) Torremuelle (Benalmádena, province of Malaga) Harbour of Benalmádena (province of Malaga) Caños de Meca (Barbate, province of Cadiz)
Chani, these really feel like spring!, the translucent quality of the watercolor is simply fantastic! but while yes the days are longer and I'm loving every (extra) minute, the temps here and more snow makes my wonder how long? (you may have the idea to be in southern Spain!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Matt! I wanted to created some works that transmit energy! Of course the climate in continental America is much harder than here in Southern Spain. There is still snow here as well though, but only in the mountains, not at the coast where we live. We can see the white mountains in the background from here, a beautiful scenery, but I am glad we do not have to worry about icy streets, etc.
