Imperfect, beautiful skies

-

I love to walk on the beach during these evenings with imperfect skies, where you do not know which side the storm will come from - to find out the next morning that it raged on the other side of the town. But at least, the sky is blue or grey now, only walls, houses and some streets are still reddish.

    I'd so love to be able to walk on that beach! Still off-season, lovely. I hope the tourists will not spoil it too much this summer. Thanks for your visit last week, Chani, and your supportive words - I'm still hanging in there. Hope to get better soon. xx

      Yes, it is great to have a beach nearby to be able to get fresh salty air and some peace every evening after work. Of course, tourists will come, again, but after two years of restrictions, closed borders etc., even if I not like the idea of mass tourism, it is good for all those who have been struggling economically (shops, restaurants, hotels...). (Most of us did not get one cent from the government.)
      I hope you will get better very soon.

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.

Almost Fall

Fall is almost here, and that is good. I love the shorter days, the prospect of getting back to standard time (even if it not the time that corresponds to our meridian), eating chestnuts, taking longer walks without dying of the heat. Finding some chestnut trees on the path from Pampaneira to Bubión (province of Granada, Spain)

Casa Forestal in Alhaurín el Grande

It is summer, it is too hot, but we went back to a place that we love, the "Casa forestal" in Alhaurín el Grande (near Málaga, Spain), and we could chill there a bit (forgetting for a short moment all pictures and reports of destroying, killing, suffering etc. we had seen about Gaza, when there is so little we can do).  Two years ago, a huge forest fire destroyed a lot in this area, but this place has been preserved (the flame stopped just above it). Enjoy! The "Casa Forestal" of Alhaurín el Grande View of the valley from above, near the Casa forestal On the way to the Casa forestal
