Hailstorm on Christmas Eve
There was a strange light last night. Almost as if sand from the Sahara was back in the air ("calima"), but then hail came. These days are quite humid, which is actually a good thing. Rain is needed. Happy Holidays to you all! Just before the hail storm at Carihuela Beach (Torremolinos, Spain) #hail #December #Christmas #Torremolinos #Andalusia #Spain
Goretti, Harry, Ingrid, Joseph, Kristin, Leonardo, Marta
In the province of Málaga, six storms have deserved a name so far this year: Goretti, Harry, Ingrid, Joseph, Kristin, Leonardo and Marta (today). The situation is extraordinary. We have gone from being a province plagued by constant drought to being like a saturated sponge. The good news is that water will not be a problem this summer (and next). The bad news is that about 11,000 people (and counting) had to be evacuated those last days in Cádiz and Málaga. The damage along the coast is limited. However, the situation is different in the inland area. For instance, the village of #Grazalema had to be completely evacuated two days ago. Let's hope for the best! Bajondillo Beach in Torremolinos (Málaga, Spain). There used to be a long stretch of beach beneath those stairs. #storms #rain #marta #beach #torremolinos #grazalema #málaga #cádiz


That's terrible, Chani! I've seen a few of these discarded masks around here, but nothing like on this scale. I bet it's the tourists - I can't imagine the locals doing it!
ReplyDeleteZsuzsa, mostly locals are to blame in this case, not tourists (BTW, we have so little tourism at the moment). The big majority of locals of course bring their rubbish to the bins (also their cans, papers, plastic bottles...), but some do not. So you can find plastic waste on beaches and in rivers, and now, you will see face masks everywhere as well. I could have taken many more pictures like those, it is heartbreaking. Also, reducing plastic in shops and in our lives seems to be absolutely forgotten.
