Nature is sick of it
Words are not necessary here. I just had my camera with me all the time during one week.
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.

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.
