Spring at the Coast

Image
Spring is here now, and Andalusia is greener than I have ever seen it in twenty years. Living by the sea is a blessing, and it always will be.  Even an exaggerated number of tourists will not alter this feeling. ;-) A path through nature in Torremuelle (Benalmádena, province of Málaga, Spain) #Torremuelle #Benalmádena #Málaga #Andalusia #Spain

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
