Ensenada de la Herradura to Puerto de Almerimar
23 May 2015

An early start to take advantage of the early morning light winds before the 15_20 breeze kicks in 12-1pm .motored &sailed the 45 miles to the Large well developed 1000 berth marina of Almerimar.
The high sierra starting to recede from the coastline & the land flatten out .With easier ground ,warm climate, huge acreage's of plastic hot houses replaced, concrete &steel apartments to cover the countryside .
Almerimar marina well set up with repair facilities &many shops & restaurants nearby .Also taking advantage of the warm weather &reasonable prices were a number of live aboards .
Rather strangely 3-4 large blocks of fine looking apartments set around the marinas edge.All seemingly unoccupied. Possibly a casualty of European downturn.Also restaurants ,many who look to struggle for business, and some who have become obvious casualties.
A day_of sailing with a possible trip to Grenada & the Alhambra in the offing
